Can Rendezvous be tunneled?
I don’t know enough about networking to answer this, so I will ping LazyWeb, and hope someone can clue me in.
At etech, we saw a lot of people making use of Hydra. Is it possible to somehow tunnel ZeroConf from one local net to another? I am guessing it would involve something like:
virtual_me.local <-> tunnel <-> virtual_you.local
In other words, a second .local identity is constructed on both ends of the connection, and then some network magic passes that traffic back and forth.
I suppose another way would be to go to the port level, on a per-application basis. It just seems that creating some sort of “exists to be tunneled” Rendezvous identity (in addition to the local one) would be a nice higher-level approach.
Doable? (apologies if “tunnel” isn’t the correct description)
