That's my understanding...to quote the Install & config guide, "When netmon
discovers a node, it discovers all IP addresses on the node, regardless of
whether those IP addresses lie outside the groups of nodes in the seed
file". This does refer to initial discovery of the node, but I'd guess it
will follow the same pattern when new interfaces are discovered. But, it
couldn't hurt to try a seedfile entry to exclude them and see what happens.

They are discovered as new interfaces, so I guess it's not much I can
do but unmanage them then?

Does the new IP show up as a new node, or an additional interface on the
server?
If it's a new node, then add an entry in your seedfile for the RAS IP range,
with a "!" in front, which tells Netview to exclude this range.
If it shows these as interfaces on the server, then the best you'll do is to
allow each address to be discovered once, then unmanage it.

Is there any way of making Netview NOT to discovery my RAS-ip's in an
NT-server i monitor?
Everytime someone dial's in and gets a DHCP-IP i get a new interface that
ends up down :)
Since the RAS is not used very often the interface gets deleted after a time
and then
it gets rediscovered again.
I'm using a seedfile for node-discovery
