Great ! I'm sending your report to the public discussion list, it may
help to have feedback

Ok, we are working on it. As The Helix part is not under my direct
responsibility, I am involving those people who are. Also, I will report
something about the word file here, for public discussion.

No, an Origin node doesn't need to also configure a Node entity.

Ok. I see that yours is a recorded content, which has been tested less.
Please give a try by using some lively-encoded content as well, it
should work well.

By looking at the code (lib/Helix.pm), the presence of the string
"0.0.0.0" should be due to an incorrect regular expression matching.
That piece of code is poorly commented, it was not me who wrote it, and
I need some more time for fixing it.

By my part, after having newly installed Real Server 9.0.7 and updated
license keys, still I am having problems with clip content caching;
really, it doesn't work at all for me :-(

Anyway, the live content works well :-)

In the past few days I saw some activity in Helix support by part of
another developer; so, using the cvs version may be an option. I will
try it.

Sorry for not being able to give you a prompt solution :-(
