Hi there,
We have been installing Zephyr here at Lehman Brothers and a number of
developers have not been able to come up with an answer to the
following question.
If there is more than one Zephyr server running on our network (same
Kerberos realm), and some workstations are identified with one server
(i.e. "zhm server1") and some workstations are identified with another
(i.e. "zhm server2"), is it possible that the servers can check with
each other to determine that some users are logged in on the other
server? That is, can a user on server1 send a message to a user on
server2 without knowing that there's more than one server?
The documentation indicates that multiple servers may be specified but
it seems that all of the clients use the same one until there is a
problem with that first server. Is that generally the case?
Any help you can provide would be appreciated,
David Pirmann
