While there is some distinct merit to a zeroconf setup (especially if you have Mac users), in a network of the OP's size multicast DNS could possibly end up being effectively using broadcasting, too, and thus not help in terms of network efficiency. But I don't think efficiency is a major concern with 8 workstations. Having said that, I don't have any metrics since I've not personally tried it to see. But it's a thought. _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
