- Hi!  I'm from the NS services lab in HP.  I'm not aware of any problems
  in that area of NS... here's a short sample of what I did on my hands-on
  machine to test this out.
 
  System 1 (LAX) has a program (RPMSEND) that gets a nodename,logon and a
  program name for another system, then RPMCREATEs the remote program.
  Remote program (IPCRECV) starts up and put's it's socket name in socket
  registry and the local program (RPMSEND) then looks it up using IPCLOOKUP,
  connects to it and sends some data across and kills the connection at
  the end.  Note that nodenames were configured different so that your
  concern of differing DOMAINs (and also ORGANIZATIONs) gets addressed:
  Local system was called LAX.ITG.HP and remote was
  PILOT13.TESTDOMAIN.TESTORG.
 
 
on System 1 (LAX.ITG.HP)
========================
:rpmsend
*SENDER* Enable user-level NetIPC tracing (Y/N) ?
*SENDER* Enter remote node name: PILOT13.TESTDOMAIN.TESTORG
*SENDER* Enter remote logon [user.acct,grp - no pw]: manager.sys,pub
*SENDER* Enter remote program name: IPCRECV
len= 7 name="IPCRECV"
len=26 name="PILOT13.TESTDOMAIN.TESTORG"
len=15 name="manager.sys,pub"
*SENDER* no error(s) - Remote process creation ok !  <<=== NOTE - WORKED OK
*SENDER* Time for RPMCreate:  2.25 seconds.
*SENDER* Enter packet size (max 1500): 1000
*SENDER* Enter number of packets to send: 10
*SENDER* no error(s) - socket created
*SENDER* no error(s) - lookup ok !!                <<=== NOTE - WORKED OK
*SENDER* no error(s) - connected !!
*SENDER* VC descriptor =  12
*SENDER* call socket - socket was shut down.
*SENDER* no error(s) - connection ok.
*SENDER* Connection establishment time =  0.13 seconds
*SENDER* no error(s) - datalength sent ok.
*SENDER* packets sent:   10
*SENDER* Time for xmit was:  0.08 seconds
*SENDER* VC socket - socket was shut down.
 
 
on System2 (PILOT13.TESTDOMAIN.TESTORG):
========================================
:10:48/#S6/48/(PROGRAMMATIC) LOGON FOR: "MANAGER.SYS,PUB" ON LDEV #15.

                    socket created and named by IPCRECV "TEST SOCKET#1"
 
 
Hope this answers your questions.  Calling sequence in sending program is:
---------
RPMCreate
IPCCreate
IPCLookup
IPCConnect
IPCRecv
IPCSend
repeat
  IPCSend
until no more data
IPCShutdown
 
...and the receiving (RPMCREATEd) program says:
---------
IPCCreate
IPCName
IPCRecvcn
IPCRecv
repeat
  IPCRecv
until no more data
IPCShutdown
 
 
Hope this clarifies it,
