Mitch;  I don't understand how the ADSM server can be made to reply using
whatever network the client started using.  The routes set up on your ADSM
server system will control the routing of packets sent back to the client,
no?  ADSM specifies the target IP address for the packets, but the
underlying OS/TcpIP will determine which interface card to send them out
on, based on the routes defined.  Seems to me that if you only have one
default route specified, then all outbound traffic from ADSM will go out
that default route.

Can you expand on the recommendation to not use name resolution?  I don't
see what the problem would be, and not using it can introduce other
headaches in managing your systems.
