Route Rendezvous between networks
Authored by: Anonymous on Jul 25, '03 10:54:05AM

I think the rendevous Beacon Host proxy will not allow new rendezvous services on one network to be automatically published on another.
An example:
Network 192.168.1.0 has machines A, B and C all of which are publishing a rendezvous service (e.g. web, Itunes etc.)
Network 192.168.0.0 cannot see rendezvous services of A B and C.
Sure, Rendezvous Beacon can be manually set up to proxy A, B and C so that their services appear on 192.168.0.0 network. This works great.
But if a mchine D on the first network suddenly starts publishing a Rendevous service, it will not be visible unless it is manually added to Rendevous Beacon.
With mTunnel the process is automatic and is bidirectional -I think this gives it a big advantage.
...However, I havent used Rendevous beacon much, so correct me if I'm wrong!!
