Good. Of note, there are cases where due to one DB server being behind an address-rewriting router (like a NAT) that a server's idea of its address does not match what its peers' ideas are. This can be a valid configuration, if care is taken, which is why I brought it up. -- Derrick _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
