Re: Which servers support secondary network numbers?

["Michael J. Lewis" <[e-mail]>]

Of the servers we've tested, we have found Competitive Automation JOIN
3.2a and On Technology IPTrack 2.0 capable of doing dynamic address
allocation for secondary subnets.  We did not test manual addressing.
Microsoft Windows NT 3.51 and 4.0 (through RC1) do not support secondary
addressing at this time.
