General Notes / Tuning Information 

Network hardware:

  Foundry Network ServerIronXL (2x 1000Base-SX ports and 24x 10/100 BaseT ports)

Switch configuration:

  Only layer three switching performed -- no particular switch
  configuration required.

DNS configuration:

  "A" records for every host on the network (to map hostnames to IP
  addresses).

  "PTR" records for every host on the network (to reverse map IP
  addresses to hostnames).

  Specify operf4.p.net as the only mail exchange for domain remote.p.net
  with an MX record of preference level 10.
