Hi Chris,
When I worked with the Local Director last fall, subnet support was very
limited. The Local Director is a bridging device. We were able to
configure multiple subnets and get it to work, but we could not
allocate the subnets to different physical interfaces on the
Local Director. All of the subnets coexisted (like secondary
addresses) on each physical interface of the Local Director.
I think this is partially why Cisco bought Arrowpoint.
Regards,
Ron
