Right now I'm doing OSPF between my routers, terminal servers, and Unix
servers (running gated). Each portmaster broadcasts its assigned pool to
the other boxes and then if a static ip user gets on it broadcasts that
also.
The portmasters then know the quickest path to send information between
users on different portmasters, the quickest way to get to/from the
portmasters to the servers, etc. I have a simple setup of GateD on my
servers which just sits there listening to the OSPF traffic.
I can give you (or anyone else) configuration details/assistance if wanted
:-)
(I'm running Cisco routers, Livingston PM2 and PM3 terminal servers, and
BSD/OS servers).
