the 'metric' is a weighting mechanism of the IP stack, if the IP stack has
two routes to a destination the route with the lowest metric will be used.
'route print' reports the metric for all routes.
It's of little, if any, consequence to your scenario though. There are
special considerations to running two SBS on the same ethernet segment,
mostly about DHCP/DNS/AD. Unless you are _thoroughly_ familiar with the
interaction it's a scenario that should be avoided. I do not consider my own
propellerhead familiar enough to do so as a 'production' system, I've played
with it a bit in a testing environment. The deeper you get the more you
realise 'SBS wasn't designed with this in mind'.
Run your test environment as an independent LAN, having it on your
'production' ethernet segment impacts your production environment, you'll
end up wasting time chasing issues that are only happening because the test
environment is sharing the segment.

What do you mean by "metric"?

Yes, one was DHCP, when I was installing the evaluation version I chose
to
not turn on DHCP because of what you suggested so the install didn't
install
some of the SBS Server software...ex. SBS Sharepoint, client apps.
Another network; that is what I would like to try and create here, but
wasn't sure if that was possible such as another subnet though my
firewall
(PIX 501).
Don't know. Certainly any port connections from external sources will be
problematic.
Even if I put another nic in my PC that means I would have to
disconnect
from my current network, which means I lose access to internet, network
applications, etc. Basically go back and forth, which I wasn't really
looking to do.
You can have two (or more) nics in your pc and have your pc quite happily
sit on two different physical networks. That's not a problem. What is a
problem is if you want your pc to be part of the domain for each ...
because
it can only be a member of one domain at a time.
Regarding things like internet access, you can set the "metric" as part
of
the TCP/IP settings for each card. I think (not tried it) that if you
manually set the metric for the card on the network that has internet
access
then that will take precedence for traffic that it doesn't know where
else
to route, ie. stuff for the internet. Its either the metric for the card
or
the metric for the gateway, but both can be set under TCP/IP settings.
Not
tried this, but it is surmountable.
