I'm not sure how things are set up but this makes me suspicious...
while Building 20 is on the 18.88 subnet (which has caduceus as an RVD
server), the workstations there should NOT be using caduceus.
Building 20 is being served by a "temporary" broadband connection to
the 18.88 subnet and will be eventually spun off to it's own subnet.
The broadband connection is not reliable enough for RVD traffic. The
server m20c-231-1 was installed to provide RVD service for the
workstations in Building 20.
If we don't keep this all straight we are going to be in a big mess
when we split off Building 20!
