Could you point me to some of that documentation? I've not seen any of it, and I don't really at all understand the point of even setting up information in the nodename database for DECservers, which don't even speak DECnet to begin with. (And I do have DECservers up and running, as well as manuals...)
I know that, from a convenience point of view, you can use the name as a short cut for specifying the MAC address and circuit, but having an area reserved for such a simple detail seems excessive.
Second SG1 is a VS4000/30 (VLC). It is small, quiet, and cheap to run -
all very important features. If I remember correctly, LEGATO is the
same platform for the exact purpose. The only difference between my
Multnet "gateway" is that it can accommodate dynamic-DNS at the other
end.
Cool. I guess that platform should be enough to handle normal HECnet traffic even if we grow some more.
How do you deal with dynamic IP addresses?

Yes. I was trying to convey that his site (area) is not an intermediate
hop but at the end of a leg (as it were). If you compare this to
Sampsa's network (and mine) where our sites route traffic for multiple
sites into your (bridged) backbone. Sampsa and I have multiple
redundant links to provide maximum connectivity. We are also linked
together via Multinet and the bridge. In this way if one of the sites
has issues at least something is available for others.

Believe me, electricity is not a concern. Nor is bandwidth.
My only worry is heat, which is why the VAX 8650 is not running. (Or the VAX 7720.) Cooling system broke down. :-(
