Lester:
Support for multi-homed servers was added in 1.3.76. The current
version is 1.3.87.
The most recent development builds are available at
/afs/athena.mit.edu/user/j/a/jaltman/Public/OpenAFS
If you have a chance to test on your network and file bug reports if
there are remaining
problems it would be appreciated.

<pre wrap="">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
