This is just a thought off the top of my head: try installing the MS
loopback network device. Maybe you can then tell one of the servers to
serve from that one (assuming they can be told to bind to a special
address). I forget the details but I think you can give the loopback
one of the IP addresses reserved for local use.
Note: MS has drivers for some sort of a special network device that just
loops the connections back to the computer itself; the loop back has an
UNC name of itself. This is not the 127.0.0.1 loopback address. I
don't know the specifics, I just installed it to install OpenAFS. I
think it somehow makes the computer look like a server onto itself.
I don't have access to my W2K box right now, but you can search on
google for "openafs loopback windows" and pick the first article that
comes by (from openafs.org).
