REVPARAM - ServerOnly=Yes (Networking Products)

How important is the REVPARAM record for correct operation of the NT/NLM service modules?
I know that if the REVPARAM record does NOT contain "ServerOnly=Yes", the App runs fine with or without the NT/NLM service modules on very small networks with 2-5 workstations, as long as we use the NPP.
I also know that if the REVPARAM record has "ServerOnly=Yes" and I remove the App and run it without the NT/NLM modules, it WILL NOT run at all, even with the NPP.
So, what's the question? IF the NT/NLM is installed WITHOUT "ServerOnly=Yes" in the REVPARAM record, is the NT/NLM service module installed correctly? That is, is the NPP handling all the disk activity itself, even though the NT/NLM is present?
Is there a statistical record kept by the NT/NLM modules of their activities? How can we "watch" the NT/NLM in action to demonstrate its performance to the client?

I normally set serveronly=true. Yes might work just as well, but the documentation suggests that "true" is the correct usage.
This flag ensures that the NPP can only access the data through the NT service or NLM. Without this flag, the NPP will try and access the data directly, if it fails to find the NT service. Since there is little point in buying the NT service, and then not using it, the setting of serveronly=true is a vital setting. It should ensure that your data does not get GFEs etc.
Note that the NPP is not the correct driver in a netware/NLM environment. Make sure that you read the documentation fully to ensure that the correct driver is chosen (I've forgotten which one it is).
As far as a monitoring tool is concenced, this is an excellent idea. It would be nice to see who has which records locked as well! How about it RTI?

For the NLM, there are the NLM_STATS programs, which give you back more information than you'll know what to do with.

You can run the NT LH Service in debug mode, however the flurry of information in a multiuser environment is impossible to follow. Besides the Service has to be started in the debug mode and I have no idea what the impact is on performance.
