as far as I know, you cant define a zone on one network interface only! I
recently spent two days configuring two zones, because there was an
additional mac-based router connecting a localtalk-network (printers) to
the ethernet. this router was occasionally turn on and off and the other
machines (netatalk on linux and macs) did not like that very much. so I put
up a separete network-string with a second ethernet card in the linux box
and finally got the thing to work stable.
