The point of how you publish your external resources to the world is up to you. NDS does not force you to create any particular naming convention and then how it is published even in the old mixed IPX/IP environment is up to you. The point is that servers could really have internal and external names and any NDS server can serve either DHCP or DNS. 5.X is nice and 5.1 is even better in this respect. You take it to the next level when you realize that you can granularly control access for public and private groups from within NDS for the same resource. The incorporation of DNS queries into NDS is one of the better features that I have seen in some time. The point being that distributed self replicating DNS rocks. Did I miss something?

PS. The part III thing from MSFT is one of the funniest faqs I have read in some time. So NOVL probably disables hardware caching as well. HAHAHAHAHAHA. That is a new one on me. Give me a break. Weak, very weak. Bill and Company should be ashamed. Thank God I really do not care about multi-platform support? At least they tell me I do not, so who cares right? What a damn joke. Multiple stores always suck worse than single stores. I guess that is unless your single store is that weak piece of work MSFT calls AD. Believe me when I say that if NOVL blew up and declared bankruptcy tomorrow, I would still keep a NOVL server with a DIRXml connector just to make sure I had a good copy of my MSFT AD. Actually, I take that back. I might simply change careers.
