[guess I'm a bit late in this thread, just want to clarify that]
the protocol (AFCP) is routable (RAFCP). It used to involve two pc:s
(one front-end and one remote) running HPOpenViewDTCmgr, but, if I
understand correctly, can now be configured via NMMGR (as of 7.0 or
7.5?).
My recommendation, however, would definitely be to *not* do that if
you don't have pressing needs to put a DTC on another subnet/network.
It's painful and you need to keep those network gremlins on constant
feed ;-)
