Actually, the particular filer
interface that a client would use to
communicate with a filer is not
something that is directly influenced by the
domain that it or the filer have
been configured into. Domains are things
that sit at a much higher level of
abstraction than ip subnets and cables
and so forth. On reading your message,
it looks like you have configured all
the clients on one subnet to be in one
domain, and all the clients on
another to be in a second domain, so you have
got a one-to-one relationship
between "clients that are in a X
domain" and "clients that are on a
particular ip-subnet", but
that need not necessarily be the case. You could
easily have half the clients
on each subnet in one domain, and the other
half from each subnet in another
domain, but clients from *both* domains on
a single subnet will normally
communicate with the filer through the filer
interface that is attached to
that subnet, irrespective of which of the two
domains the filer has been put
into.
Make sense?
