Subject: [netatalk-admins] Netatalk services appear in only one zone.

Hi!
Netatalk is running on a FreeBSD box with two ethernet interfaces.
One goes to a LAN in room 1 (zone "ROOM1"), the other interface goes to a
LAN
in room 2 (zone "ROOM2").
I have managed to set up atalkd.conf so that it seeds the zones with the
names
above, and routing between zones seems to work. Thus, a mac in "ROOM2"
can see a mac in "ROOM1". So far so good.
The trouble is, the netatalk services (AppleShare and Print Spooling) only
seem to
register in the first zone - "ROOM1". The chooser shows nothing to choose
in zone
"ROOM2", even when I am on a mac in "ROOM2".
1 Is this actually a big deal? I can connect a computer in ROOM2 to
netatalk simply by
selecting the zone "ROOM1" in the chooser. Will computers in ROOM2
slow down the LAN for
computers in ROOM1 ?
2 I must be missing something here! The netatalk FAQ-Matic alludes to
this problem
but gives no firm examples. They talk about a file called "rc.atalk" .
Is this just the
startup script called at boot time that Linux uses?
Thanks in advance. Any working examples appreciated.
Eddie.
