just fought this one off myself.
your atalkd is binding only to the first interface it finds, in this
case, dc0.
atalkd.conf gets over-written every time you start atalkd, using what
you put in there as, well, i guess hints is the way i'd explain it.
i believe you could resolve this problem 2 ways:
1. an atalkd.conf file that contains one line:
dc1
atalkd will pick up existing appletalk zone info on that interface and
not bind to dc0. if there is no appletalk zone/cable ranges etc on that
network, it will put itself in the "*" zone along with your mac.
2. explicitly name & seed zones for both interfaces:
dc0 -seed -phase 2 -zone <Zone1> -addr <address1> -net <net1>
dc1 -seed -phase 2 -zone <Zone2> -addr <address2> -net <net2>
my interfaces are called eth0 and eth1:
eth0 -seed -phase 2 -net 1-2 -addr 1.99 -zone "inside"
eth1 -seed -phase 2 -net 3-4 -addr 3.99 -zone "outside"
the small net ranges suffice for my small home network.
don't try this in an office setting, unless you know there are no
pre-existing appletalk zones/routers (not to mention some sort of vague
notion of an appletalk zone scheme for the whole joint)! your network
admin will hunt me down ...
oh, and let me know if this helps. i'll be away for a few days, but can
follow up next wednesday if needed.
