switch is a 2950 (12.1(13)EA1) - reagarding the server...it appears to
have a common mac (@#!^&*$%#@), i hadn't noticed that before you 
mentioned it.  the switch sees that mac in vlan10 (inside vlan) - i am
looking through cisco.com to find out if it can handle a common mac.  
i am also looking to see if i can get debian to use different mac 
addresses on the interfaces (silly sun hardware) - i don't have any port
security enabled on the ports (it doesn't even appear to be available in
this version)

thanks

"Walk with me through the Universe,
 And along the way see how all of us are Connected.
 Feast the eyes of your Soul,
 On the Love that abounds.
 In all places at once, seemingly endless,
 Like your own existence."
