It occurs to me that VMware is actually very good about crafting per-host licensing. The truly correct solution here is to then associate a pool of MAC addresses with with each VMware license. This fixes VM mobility in general and as a side effect, fixes any issues with ILNP. ;-) Tony _______________________________________________ rrg mailing list [email protected] http://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/rrg
