I have multiple pure IP NW5 LAN's connected to a WAN via routers/T1 etc.  I
can ping any server from any location.  I plan on merging all servers into
one tree for administrative reasons.  The question is how do I get Netware
Administrator (or for that matter, windows explorer) to "see" every server
as if its all one big happy family?  Do I need to use DNS/DHCP and enter
static routes to every server?  Thanks.

Sever location would be a function of SLP (Service Locator Protocol).
If you can ping each segment, then routing shouldn't be an issue.
Check out the documentation on getting SLP (and perhaps Dynamic DNS)
running for your network.

Chad,
   If all servers are in the same NDS tree...  you won't have any issues.
Once you're client connects to NDS, it no longer uses SLP for discovery of
things in the same tree, it uses NDS for name resolution.  So, you'll see
all the servers that have NDS on them.
