Nick,

There are no specific services/servers stated in the question, so it is
impossible to create a SAP filter. Also this VLAN has to run IPX RIP, so
we can't use eigrp incremental updates. I found following command on the
CCO:

**********
ipx server-split-horizon-on-server-paths

Usage Guidelines

By default, split horizon prevents information about periodic SAPs from
being advertised by a router to the same interface in which the best
route to that SAP is learned. However, in an instance where the SAP may
be learned from interfaces other than, or in addition to, the interface
on which the best route to that SAP is learned, using the ipx
server-split-horizon-on-server-paths command may reduce the number of
unnecessary periodic SAP updates. The reduction in the number of SAP
updates occurs because each SAP will not be advertised on the interface
or interfaces it was learned from. The reduction in the number of SAP
updates will also prevent a potential SAP loop in the network.
*********

This is the only answer I can think of. I wonder what the group thinks.

Thanks,

Alexander
