Thanks - this is exactly what I was looking for. Can I presume on
your helpfulness one more bit, and ask if there are any particular
version/revision levels this is available under, just in case they
are running old software ? It would also be nice to get the definitive
answer on the LAN Workplace product too, though if that is broken
I guess proxy ARP is a possibility.
