I'm trying to use CAP through the GatorBox.  Actually, we have two
GatorBoxes, one with and one without GatorShare.  Our configuration
is like this:

local talk ----------------+-------------------  Zone:  "ECCF Mac  Lab"
                           |
               GatorBox without GatorShare
                           |
ethernet ======+===========+===+=========+====== Zone:  "Sloan Ethernet"
               |               |         |
           GatorBox          Mac II   DS 3100
             with             with     with      Zone:  "LensKIP"
          GatorShare          AU/X    Ultrix
               |            (DOLLAR) (GUILDER)
               |              
local talk ----+-------------------------------- Zone:  "E53 3rd Floor"

The GatorBox with GatorShare has KIP turned on; the one without 
has KIP turned off.  

I've compiled CAP for two machines, one a Mac II running AU/X (DOLLAR) and
the other a DecStation 3100 running (somewhat hacked) Ultrix (GUILDER).  

On DOLLAR everything works fine (see the transcript below).  

On GUILDER, getzones works and atlook works through the GatorBox
without GatorShare but not through the one with GatorShare.  (That is,
'atlook "ECCF Mac Lab"' returns a list of things and 'atlook "E53 3rd
Floor"' returns nothing.)  Actually, the results aren't identical even
for the GatorBox without GatorShare; on DOLLAR, atlook lists 23
items, on GUILDER, only 9.

I've tried reconfiguring the second GatorBox to be as close as
possible to the first and changing the broadcast addresses of all
machines to the same thing (18.86.0.0) without making much difference.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
