	"As someone mentioned, AppleTalk is not really designed for
	multihoming without routing."

But it works if the multi-homed device is intelligent and can keep its
multiple ports straight.  The only conceptual problem is that you have
to advertise different NBP entity names out your different ports.  This
can confuse a Mac user who sees the same device appear multiple times
in Chooser.
