I believe Don is looking to support/connect two 129.97.x.y networks to  
the mini.

 From what I have read this does work fine ( properly configured ) at  
other sites, so hopefully UW's network would work as well.

You are correct that one should talk to one's network support person  
about how to properly configure such a setup.
