Rick,
Is the "iptrace" the way to answer your question, are we getting the same
number of routing entries from the router demand polls from each NetView?
Or is there some place in Netview I can look to see how many routing entries
are being retrieved?
Thanks,

Gib,
Do you get the same number of routing entries from the router demand polls
from
either NetView?
Sounds like a good scenario for an "iptrace" from each of the NetView
servers to
the router during the demand polls.

Gib, I'm afraid I was in a hurry and didn't read your original post close
enough. I was thinking of the difference between a production ROUTER with
large tables and a test ROUTER with small tables. I see now that you are
looking at the same router (same tables) with two different NetViews.
Anybody with a clear head have any suggestions?
