It is easy to setup if you have decent OS which supports ip multicast. You can setup a tunnel between your site and the target site. For instance, this my /etc/mrouted.conf tunnel 204.188.121.18 140.174.2.1 metric 1 Now the other side has a similar line however it has the ip addresses swap. The targetted lans can route ip multicast packets as for the ISPs not necessaryly supporting ip multicast it does not really matter because the tunnel concept was created with this scenario in mind. In other words, what I am suggesting works. Regards, Amancio > > I believe I have enough bandwidth, but it is more of a configuraton > question that I have.
