Re: Using Ghost Console to manage clients across subnets

Seth,

        We have been using Corporate Edition Ghost to build multiple
clients simultaneously using their Ghostcast server. However, to get
this to work for clients not on the same subnet we've had to ask
networks_at_eecs to activate "directed broadcast" with the target subnet.

        This may not be quite the same as what you're doing, but
perhaps it will be a clue. As a point of reference, the EECS nets
are managed by EECS support rather than IST, and are Extreme rather
than Cisco switches. EECS networking prefers to have directed
broadcast turned off when we're not actually building clients.
