Can you expand on why you are doing this? Are you unable to setup a helper IP?

It is a company (company_A) with few sub-company (company_B, company_C ...) located in a same building.
The entire network is flat, no router just pure switch connecting all PCs of company_A & company B. They segment it to 2 network segment to isolate each company PCs. So, company_A will carry 192.168.1.x and company_B will carry 192.168.2.x
They have 2 servers (Server_A & Server_B), both has to be accessible by company_A & company_B.
Initially it was running NT4 with ONLY 1 NIC card BUT configured 2 IP on 1 NIC. (Suprisingly it works for them for couple of years)
After that some time in Oct 06, they upgraded NT4 to 2003 server, and the same concept was 'copied' over but this time they put in 2 NIC and tied each NIC with seperate network segment.
Now, they having some AD problem and i was called in to settle this. It is un-usual to me with this kind of setup, and i done google (no luck) and read through some AD books (no luck as well).
Thank for your advice.

I guess my next question would be which companies (if any) are using active directory?
