[AG-TECH] Bridging on TVS?

[Randy Groves]

The question arises from the way that the QuickBridge has been used in the 
past - someone puts up the bridge as a separate service (and different 
machine) from the venue server.  So your answer clarifies to me one of the 
new modes of operation.   And from your statement that the bridge server is 
run 'against' the venue server, I infer that the bridge server need not be 
on the same machine as the venue server, and also that there could be more 
than one bridge server run against the same venue server - thus providing a 
backup.  Are those correct inferences?
