[AG-TECH] Bridge availability chances.

[Paul Mercer]

I have noticed, at times, that I see "no bridges available" even  
though I'm running a bride on that venue.  I might have to restart  
the Venue Client several times for bridges to appear and my bridge is  
sometimes not listed.  I have extended the number of bridges listed  
to 20 and my bridge is still sometimes not shown.  Is it possible to  
have the Venue Client update the bridge list without restarting the  
client?
