Good idea! Also, getting a new release into freshmeat.net would get it a lot
of publicity, too. A lot of people watch that hourly.

Has this code been written? I've got a spare weekend over christmas, I can
code it up then if you want. I've had a fair bit of experience with hi-av
services, so I'm reasonably clued on how to make it work, and how to make it
not suck!

I'll see what I can do this week about setting it up with tunneling. I need to
upgrade the kernels in the proxy servers, anyway - they're running versions
from 2.0.31 to 2.0.35. I'll upgrade them all to 2.0.36 over the next couple of
days, and start playing with tunneling!
