I am having a problem getting zephyrd to run on a multi-homed host (A
host with 2 or more IP addresses). The binaries we have work correctly
on hosts with a single address associated with them.
We are running primarily Sparc 1 and 2's here, with SunOS 4.1.2. The
servers we are having problems with are a Sun 4/670 and a Sun 4/280, each
with 2 IP addresses. We are not running Kerberos or Hesiod.
As for symptoms, a server on on one of either of the machines works
perfectly well, but simply cannot 'talk' to the other. zstat shows the
current server being alive, but the other as dead, and switching servers
with zctl will switch which server is reported as alive. Further, if a
user registers with server 'a', he is invisible to a user who has
registered with server 'b'.
I have tried using a numeric address in the file server.list, but this
has had no effect. A numeric address on the zhm command line results in
an error (Unknown server name: ......).
Has anyone encountered this before, and is there a fix for it? We would
far prefer to use these machines for servers over our other options.
Thanks for you help....
