You are right. When a client asks about the location of a volume, it is given a single IPv4 address for each replica and assumes that there will be a Coda server that knows about the replica at that ip-address listening on the (hardcoded/reserved) port 2432/udp. As a result, you cannot run more than a single server per ip-address and multi-homed hosts have some issues as well when some addresses are not reachable from f.i. the internal network. Things will improve, but there is not a simple fix that would make things work correctly at the moment. JanReceived on 2003-12-15 16:13:13
