Hmmmm, not a bad idea for a new 'cheap' brand name server .... "Drew style"

Hi Seth

I can't believe you're still struggling with this. We have never
encountered a scenario that comes even close to what you describe.

Which protocol(s) are you running?
Have you tried setting up an isolated test environment?
(You can use a "Drew style" server for this!)

Don't you have a nearby Novell/database guru to work with on this?
