[misterhouse-users] Multiple MH Servers?

[Ron S. <rl...@at...>]

I am just getting started with MH and am need a little design help.  I have
a large barn a few hundred feet from the house.  I have run a nice LAN,
RG-6, and phone cable bundle between the two so the barn is on my LAN
(behind my router).  Most of the temperatures, Davis Weather Monitor, water
well pump, power mains, etc. can be measured best by the Weeder analog
board, X-10 interface and bridging amp, and custom PIC devices out there.  I
have loaded MH and perl on an old P133 and put it out there.  So when I get
time to crank it all up, I will have a nice MH monitor and control system
going.

But, then I would also like to add control for my A/V gear, MP3s, HVAC,
pool, etc. but they are all located up at the house.

The question then becomes:  How do I do that?

Should I crank up a separate MH system in the house?  If so how do I get the
two pieces to link and look like one MH setup?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.  I am new to perl but a longtime
programmer so code snippets or pseudo-code would be helpful for me.  Also, I
use DHCP on the LAN, but can also assign static IPs if needed.

Thanks in advance for your time,

Ron
