Poll threads again

Ok, so some say yes, some say no, and some are not clear on the question. So here it is again in a different form. If the sql hosts file has two entries for socket/tcp connections: DBSERVER NETTYPE HOSTNAME SERVICES server2 onsoctcp ibm1 infmx_service2 server3 onsoctcp ibm1 infmx_service3 And the onconfig file has the following DBSERVERALIASES and NETTYPE entries: DBSERVERALIASES server2, server3 NETTYPE soctcp,1,50,NET Would the one poll thread listed in the onconfig file poll both services, or would the NETTYPE have to be changed to allow for two poll threads? In other words, how does the engine know to configure for both services? The RTFM states that the engine spawns a listener thread for each server name and alias listed in the onconfig file, but what about the poll threads? Thanks to everyone who responded last time around. I do appreciate it. ==================================================================== Harold Luse Phone: (970) 491-4120 Veterinary Teaching Hospital Fax: (970) 491-4123 Colorado State University Pager: (970) 229-8173 Fort Collins, Colorado USA E-mail: hluse@vth.colostate.edu ====================================================================
