hi,

okay. after posting, I realised that its an obvious solution...but so
ideal that noone is doing it. however, for those folk who are interested
in such stuff

there are more resources, but these are good starters



talking of multicasting though - and bringing this back to an ObTopic: level,
I was reading about multicasting with m0n0wall. this URL seemed to be the last
I could find about this:

http://m0n0.ch/wall/list-dev/?action=show_msg&actionargs%5B%5D=3&actionargs%5B%5D=51

is there/are there  any plans to have multicasting as a 'checkbox' option in m0n0wall?
