Is this a *nix system and is the info below from your DSM.SYS file and I
assume you "xxxxxx"ed out the addresses to keep them private?

If so, add a statement at the beginning that goes:        SErvername
server_a

Then create the DSM.OPT file in the same directory and put one sentence in
it that goes:    SErvername  server_a

Also, look in the same directory for files that end in ".smp" - they are
"sample" files  (e.g. dsm.sys.smp dsm.opt.smp).
