However, areas are a rather limited resource, and we are slowly running out of them. Sampsa, do you really think three areas are motivated? DECnet was not designed with the idea that physically separate places needed separate areas. Areas are more of a logicial division thing (although some constraints do exist on areas). I'll be happy to remumber should this happen... I'm still not getting why you need three areas. You have nowhere near 3000 nodes. In reality, even two areas are excessive. :-) Johnny
