We have two VLANS in place for our 1000 student machines. Currently the servers’ IP addresses place them in one of the VLANs, so workstations in the other VLAN have to be routed to reach them. So as to take the router out of the equation when clients connect to the Leopard server, are there any issues with connecting one of the XServe’s network interfaces into one VLAN and the second network interface into the second VLAN?
To be fully clear, I have actually already done this at the district office on a more modest scale, and have seen no issues. I have configured an IP for each interface (and configured the switch appropriately) to place the server in both VLANs concurrently. Everything is working great, but as I said, this is a limited scale.
Are there any other gotchas I need to be aware of?
