Jerry,

A second TCP/IP address space is not required for a second TCP/IP address.
 A TCP/IP address is associated with an adapter, not an address space.  We
are currently using two seperate addresses associated with two seperate 3172
controllers to accomplish a similar purpose.  As long as you keep the keep
the TCPPort constant, the ADSM server is oblivious to the address to which
the client is communicating..
