     Hi Brian,
    =20
     We have a similar configuration at our AFS cell. What=20
     we've done is set up=20
     separate CellServDB files for clients on the non-routable=20
     network which point=20
     to the non-routable volserver IP. We also added several=20
     "fs setserverprefs"=20
     lines to the init scripts (at the end of the start()=20
     method) to cause the=20
     clients to prefer the volume locators and file servers we=20
     want them to talk=20
     to. It's a bit of a kludge, but none of the other methods=20
     we've found have=20
     worked to any degree of satisfaction.

     Regards,
     Lester
