+Full internal IPX network
+CONFIG_IPX_INTERN
+  The full internal IPX network enables you to allocate sockets on
+  different virtual nodes of the internal network. This is done by
+  evaluating the field sipx_node of the socket address given to the bind
+  call. So applications should always initialize the node field to 0
+  when binding a socket on the primary network. In this case the socket
+  is assigned the default node that has been given to the kernel when
+  the internal network was created.
+  By enabling the full internal IPX network the cross-forwarding of
+  packets targeted at 'special' sockets to sockets listening on the
+  primary network is disabled. This might break existing applications,
+  especially RIP/SAP daemons. A RIP/SAP daemon that works well with the
+  full internal net can be found on linux01.gwdg.de:/pub/ncpfs.
