[OpenAFS] OpenAFS in a production environment

[Lester Barrows]

Hi Jeffrey,

Our issue most likely has something to do with our servers being multi-homed 
with both a routable and non-routable IP, the non-routable instance behind a 
NAT. Explorer tended to freeze pretty often, especially when attempting to 
open inaccessable directories. Logins were much slower with OpenAFS installed 
as well, adding as much as a two minute pause. I'm pretty sure I saw a 
message from you a while ago stating that the functionality for dealing with 
the former issue wasn't yet in the Windows client. As it seemed to be a known 
issue at the time, I didn't pursue it further.

We mostly use Linux and a bit on Solaris with OpenAFS, so as I mentioned it 
isn't really critical for our purposes. If you want bug reports though, I can 
put together a Windows test system. Our network is probably a bit of a 
torture test (minefield really) for the client.

Regards,
Lester Barrows
