[HECnet] Another thought regarding dynamic bridge setup

[Steve Davidson]

Mark,

Forget the bridge.   Run Multinet at the event and either connect to your
end via Multinet (you are already running that), or connect to mine.
Either way it will just work.   I personally, would use the dedicated
events area on the machines at the event and be done with it!

I can either supply you with my code for your end, or you can connect to
my end.   Your choice.   In the second scenerio, all I have to do is add
one (1) entry in the existing database and off we go!

-Steve

Just thinking aloud,

Can I run a   bridge between the dongle based network and my own home
network?

If the bridge program on my network is wrapped with a script which
checks the dyndns hostname periodically against the recorded IP address,
cannot I not reconfigure the bridge on my home network and restart it if
required?

If this is possible it keeps my configuration in a realm I've got half a
chance of working out myself and saves me from hassling anyone else.
Presumably at home I would need to run two bridges on different ports -
with the current bridge linking back to Johnny as normal.

Regards, Mark
