Thank you for your help. No they are not connected to the same
hub/switch. The hub and switches are on complete different subnets.

If I do nslookup, I sometimes see,
dc1.mydomain.com
192.168.11.21 192.168.22.21
dc1.mydomain.com
192.168.22.21 192.168.11.21
Does this matter? Someone off-list told me views could help. Do you
think that would work? I'll go investigate further.
Regards,
Norman
