There would be some speed advantage, however, You would be better off still
to set up an IP subnet at each site and not route Appletalk over your WAN.
You can set up a web page with the Server URL's and use AFP Engage on each
system which may need cross WAN server access. This will increase both
speed and security, and you can still use Appletalk Locally for printing
(and peer to peer file sharing if you must offer that).

Subject: AppleTalk zones

What are the pros/cons of setting up each school in a 5-school district as a
unique AppleTalk zone? At the present time, there are no zones set up at
all.

Each school is connected via a WAN and has it's own G3 server running ASIP
6.x. There are Cisco routers at each site.
