[TriLUG] Sun Jumpstart experts?

Actually, they do have to be on the same subnet.  We use them here at RR,
and must build all boxes on one subnet, then reconfigure the network info to
put it on another.  I prefer it that way, because we can segregate that
subnet from the world so that if for some odd reason we have to leave a box
unpatched to go work on another issue or emergency, it isn't out where the
world could potentially see it and crack it.
