Under current conditions, no. If/when CAP supports ethertalk phase 2, then it would be possible to have the machines use different Ethertalk network numbers and subsequently different zones. Each appletalk network can only have 1 Zone name, so those machines would need to have different Ethertalk network numbers under phase 2 in order to assign unique zones to each. Rakesh Patel.
