RE: [Poptop-server] Who does not need bc

[<bil...@bs...>]

I guess (and that's all it is :) ) that with bcrelay in operation hosts   
inside the LAN would be able to see VPN clients when browsing. I might   
try that, when pressure of work allows, because we're setting up a   
site-to-site tunnel today and it would be nice to be able to browse hosts   
on one site from the other, in both directions...

FWIW I do recall a thread on bcrelay a few months ago (here I think),   
that indicated that bcrelay is imperfect.

Perhaps a little off the path here, but I was under the impression that
bcrelay should be set along with proxyarp for maximum effect.  Is this
right?  So proxyarp will do as its name says, but bcrelay adds to that
functionality with broadcast relaying.. ?
