Thanks Guus for answering all of these many emails.
I now had a question as to if it is possible for something like this.
Suppose that you have a Tinc VPN network made up of 4 nodes (A, B, C, D)
and you want to dynamically add new nodes (E, F). How can this be done
without having to re-start all of the nodes A-D?
Based upon what I can see, each node condifuration files need to be
modified and each node re-started, right?
Would it be better if tincd would watch the network directory on that
node for changes and update communications based upon the node files
placed in there at any time. This could also be extended to a
"ConnectTo" directory for each node that could dynamically connect to
other nodess if there were a file with parameters for each connect to in
that directory.
Was trying to get away from having to restart node daemons.
I am especially interested in how my roadwarriors will be allowed to
have people connect to them easily without using external services like
DynDNS.
Just an idea though.
Thanks,
Lonnie
