Hi poindexter,

Sometimes that works! For instance I have 2 points which are directly connectable because they have a binkp service running 24/7. And at what address they are connectable is also public information because it's published in the Z2PNT list.

So if DM is going to change anything in the routing logic, I think that possible situation should also be taken into account...


Bye, Wilfred.
