Unfortunately, 1-115 is our major electronic classroom (it has the
Ultra10's and the largest number of machines), and the building 1
subnet is one of the most problematic. I've been asking for years
if that room could be put on a new subnet, but have been told by
the network group that it is slave to the network closet shortage
situation.
My favored solution at the moment is to copy the binaries to local
disk and establish a process whereby cluster support notifies the
responsible faculty or TA when a machine gets replaced or
reinstalled.
