I'll revise that, then, to WORKSFORME.  There is some configuration where
you can regularly move from wireless zone to wireless zone and to
ethernet where you never have to think about this stuff--because that's
what I do.

I really don't think the wireless has anything to do with your problem,
it probably would be the same problem if you moved from ethernet to
ethernet zone without rebooting.  Are you ifdown/ifup'ing each time you
switch?
