Well, if the only objection is having zones in the Chooser, note that zones can
span networks. I have just one zone here and 2 nets: one for localtalk
(printers etc) and one for the ethertalk Macs. I can either explicitly refer to
the zone name ("NAL") or just "*". Like so:

[root@fe init.d]# /usr/local/bin/nbplkup "=@*"
                             fe:AFPServer 10.148:128
                             fe:netatalk 10.148:4
