SLP will really help browsing NetWare services across WAN. However, you
really DO NOT want to turn on multicast. Instead, you should configure at
least two SLP DA servers depending on size of your WAN and partitions.
Normally you would want to configure these two DA's in the root. All the
other NetWare 5.x servers should have slp.cfg with these two DA's IP address
in it. You should also load-balance it by reversing the order of these two
servers in the SLP.CFG. Therefore, some servers will use one as the primary
DA and some will use the other one as the primary DA. I have done approx. 10
of this type of configuration. The smallest one has ~1500 users with 5 WAN
sites. The largest has ~45000 NDS objects with 61 WAN sites. You definitely
do NOT want to turn on multicast on your WAN routers. There are a lot of
TIDs on Novell's support site. You will be able to find them by searching
for SLP in the NW 5 or 5.1 session.

Muhammed,
Actually, this is kind of multicast related, so I included the
group. Enable PIM on all the router interfaces. Take your pick of sparse
or dense. I'd prefer sparse. I'm pretty sure NW 5.1 will do IGMP
registration. SLP is pretty efficient, so the multicast traffic shouldn't
really kill your network. The default client install should use SLP, I
believe.

Sorry for off topic!
For Novell Gurus!
Need some help with setting up Novell NetWare 5.1 with SLP. Need to be setup
between head office server and the 3 branch office servers to pass server
details between sites and allow logins at remote sites. SLP needs to be
setup
on laptops so that connectivity is made to the Novell network via the
currently installed VPN client software and firewall Watchguard 11 Plus.
Will
SLP be the best solution for this or is there anything else/better to that
can
be used?
Please respond directly to me (& no the the group -since off topic)
Many thanks.
