Re: xAP bridging / routing

[Kevin Hawkins <yahoogroupskh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If there's a way to pass all the broadcast tarffic that is destined to
port 3639 that would be easier.

At the moment I don't believe you could run bothxServer and xRouter on
the same machine with different interface bindings, but it's probably
not too hard to add that.    Alternatively Patricks' Linux router might
be suitable - and you could run one instance under Cygwin .   It might
also be fairly easy to adapt P's code to attach to the xServer. If
that's something you would like to consider,  I can (assuming James'
permission) let you know what you need to send to the xRouter to
establish and maintain a connection.   As just about everything is
managed by the xServer the code is minimal for a client.  However ,
perhaps a bit unconventially your client will be in DMZ which might mean
you have to pass all traffic rather than filtering to just Asterisk
sources.
