Re: MAC Machines | Bonjour Protocol | OT

Just for arguments sake I think I'll try this in my lab. I'm not sure you
can do this with link local multicast (ttl=1 ?) but I think I've heard of
people doing this with ospf.

Just thinking of elaborate solutions which you would never use in
production, and its to late for me to power on my lab to test it, but
from a hacks perspective could you NAT the multicast address to a
unicast address in the remote subnet, and NAT it back when it gets
there? Would that actually work despite being an appealing
architectural solution?

Would stuff like L2TP work, even if the mulicast packets cant be
routed as Keegan suggested earlier as this would just be like bridging
the remote VLANs.

Cheers
