[AG-DEV] VenueClient in two Venues?

[Thomas D. Uram]

Changes would be required to the code to make this possible.  As Andrew 
wrote,
UpdateLifetime would have to be called in both venues.  Also, the event 
client 
would receive events from both venues and confuse the UI (or the user).  
I'm sure
there are a number of other problems.  We never intended for the venue 
client to be
in multiple venues, so have not coded for it.

It _would_ be possible to run multiple venue clients, configured to not 
conflict
with each other in terms of services and such.

What you would also need to do to keep the client in both the venues is to call the UpdateLifetime method from the Venue interface for both the venues.  This will keep sending updates to the server to keep you in the venue (otherwise it will time out and assume you have disconnected).
