This can be a problem.. for example, I used to use the class-A network 10.0.0.0 as out intranet. But the routers using RIP could only broadcast routes to the 10.0.0.0 network - not to any of the subnets - so you end up having lots of static routes as a cludge and only one router out of each subnet. Not nice. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Scot Elliott scot@poptart.org Tel: +44 (0)181 8961019 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Public key available by finger at: finger scot@poptart.org or at: http://www.poptart.org/pgpkey.html
