Just for the record, it's not just for Linux. :-) I'm using it on NetBSD.
It runs on FreeBSD, suns, ultrix, and lots more.

No, it won't. :-)
The net number(s) must be unique for a wire. Also, you don't really need a
range unless you have a LOT of computers. We have 200 macs living off of
one net number.
Try something like (assuming eth0 is the backbone):
eth0 -seed -phase 2 -net 100 -addr 100.1 -zone "Backbone"
eth1 -seed -phase 2 -net 101 -addr 101.1 -zone "Zone 1"
and
eth0 -seed -phase 2 -net 100 -addr 100.2 -zone "Backbone" (must match
other backbone line, and doesn't need to be -seed if server 1 fires up
first always)
eth1 -seed -phase 2 -net 102 -addr 102.1 -zone "Zone 2"
Take care,
Bill
