I can't find this anywhere right now but I'm pretty sure that I've read (somewhere) that
redundant servers on more than 1 subnet isn't supported. In actuality running the adlm
over a wan in any form is a violation of the autodesk license agreement, see below
If this Software is a Network Version, you may use it only over an internal [local] area
network environment with the Autodesk License Manager tool, and you may install and
operate the Software on a single server computer in a single location which may be
accessed by other computers, or on an individual computer, as a multiple-user installation
with either:
