> o Help Chris Hertel with WINS failover implementation
> issues
The failover code is actually all written. The issue is simply the
workings of the UNICAST_SUBNET. I wanted Jeremy, who wrote that bit, to
take a careful look at it.
The UNICAST_SUBNET is a mechanism for making the point-to-point WINS
communication look like broadcast communication so that both can be
handled more or less the same way. The design is good, though a bit
tricky, as it removes a special case that would involve a bit of redundant
coding. The problem is that there is some special code for this, and the
assumption is made that there is only one remote address on the
UNICAST_SUBNET list. I don't know what will happen if multiple addresses
are listed so I want to work Jeremy to make sure I've caught any problems.
