Hrm. In my case, I have physical and virtual DCs here at this site (the data center). So I want links to both a physical and a virtual DC, from each of the other sites. If Remote Site #1 Server #1 has a link only to Main Site Server #1, and Main Site Server #1 (the PDC roleholder, etc) goes down/melts down/is completely unavailable, doesn't that mean I'd have to wait for KCC to recalculate another link from Remote Site Server #1 to Main Site Server #2? Until then, I have no connection from Remote Site #1 to Main Site. Am I correct so far? So I made a manually entered connection from Remote Site #1 Server #1 to Main Site Server #2. And did the same thing for Remote Site #3 and #4. Multiple connections from each remote site to the main site, for redundancy. > If you prefer having two, you can set some option for the sitelink which is > called > “redundant connections” something. Sounds like something I could use, yes. Any idea of how I configure that? ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
