Yes, Tony, but they can't *count the connected users that way*, you see. For my part, as someone who used to run a small edge network, what I wonder is this: is there a multicast repeater daemon of some sort, where I can put it on my edge, and have it catch any source requested by an inside user and re-multicast it to my LAN, so that my uplink isn't loaded by multiple connections? Or do I need to take the Multicast class again? :-) Cheers, -- jra
