My question regarded routing problems among nodes physically very close
but defined on different subnets.
The replies can be summarized in the following points:
1) Nodes belonging to different subnets should stay in different
network segments. It helps simplify traffic routing.
Unfortunately this is not my case.
2) The problems I experience are due to routing problems and not to
nameserver ones.
3) Changing subnet mask is NOT a good idea.
4) Defining a secondary nameserver is not going to create conflicts;
on the contrary, it may be a good idea. But, see point 2, this will
not solve my problems.
5) The best way to avoid my problems is to "kindly" ask the network
administrators to change IP addresses of my nodes in order to put
them all in the same subnet.
Many thanks for a very prompt response and useful suggestions to:
