> 1. Will this work ? The plan is to set up a box which will
> bridge all of the AG traffic for our site. We will configure
> our switches to allow multicast between the router and this
> box but not between the router and the rest of our lan.
> 2. If we do this will the bridge have to participate in all
> venues that we might want to participate or will it only have
> to participate in the venues we happen to be visiting at any
> given moment.
> 3. Should we be running our own venue server on this bridge node
> ? Will this help or hinder us in our unicast goals ?
> 4. How good a computer to we need for this purpose ?
> 5. Should it run windows or linux ?
> Thanks in advance for any help with these issues that you can provide.
