RE: GNS replies from furthest server
Not that I am any sort of expert in Novell, but have you checked the encapsulation type of the local server and the clients to see if it matches? Also, is the external IPX network number the same. And, as someone else mentioned, try and set a preferred server in your client software. Just my 2 cents.

Make sure you have Portfast enabled on the local server switch ports.

RE: GNS replies from furthest server
Why don't you just put a PREFERRED SERVER statement on the Netware Client? That will take care of it.
