I appreciate it.  In fact, my network would not be able to do what it 
does without it.  Just take a look at:

MCR NCP TELL MIM SHOW KNOWN AREAS

You will notice that SG1:: makes heavy use of the bandwidth given all 
the areas it supports.  In addition to the Multinet Tunnels,  I also run 
the bridge.  It is not only connected to Update but to others.  It is 
configured so that it does not introduce loops while providing a bridge 
connection to sites that do not have static addresses.  It manages this 
with a cron job that reloads the database periodically.
