Just tried what you suggested and that works for me as well.  Based on Ryan's
comment that the Lan queries broke when he fixed the multi-homing, I'd have
to agree.  After doing a packet dump, the broadcast for a list of servers is
coming into from my workstation to the server LAN interface just fine
[255.255.255.255:22000-22010], but illicits no response.  At this point
though, knowing that it is running and I can access it is more important than
seeing it in the local server list, but this issue will ultimately need to be
fixed -- when Ryan has the time ;-) of course.
