Unless you are going to cluster these boxes , having ipx bound to one of the network cards on you Novell Ghost server is no big deal.
Remember that IPX is about 15 to 20% faster than IP on a LAN. IP shines as a WAN protocol , but for local client/ server , IPX is a "no brainer" and kicks IP's butt.
And...if you running full duplex switched ethernet , IPX is a whole lot better for upstream copying (client to server).Pure IP on a switched network is very picky about duplex mismatches.
Been there , done that.
