5642.0. "Minimize network loading with 2 network cards." by OSL09::dhcp160.tdo.dec.com::Dahlen (Yet another day with MS-problems...) Tue Feb 04 1997 15:42

Configuration question about multihomed workstation.

The system is an NT workstation with 2 network adapters each 
having its own IP address. The workstation is able to send out 
information using Microsoft Peer Web Services (web and ftp services), 
collect information from external URLs using purpose written 
java applications (converted to native binary and running as NT 
services), collect and distribute information LanManager style 
using both TCP/IP and Netbeui. 

In  order to minimize network loading, it is desirable to ensure 
that the different kinds of data transfer are performed through 
different network adapters. Netbeui can be restriced to only one 
adapter via the bindings tab in the network app of control panel. 
In principle, the local nameserver can influence which address is 
given to potential clients of the web and ftp services. However it 
is still desirable to be able to control which services use which 
adapter in the local configuration.
