Hi Darryl

This may very well be the case. There's no real network device admin here
and I will have to do some reading up on the type of network device used. I
guess I'll be able to understand enough to set some filters for this. If
someone knows off the bat how to do this on Intel switches...feel free to
contact me off-list. 8-)
