capabilities of Tinc?

[Lonnie Cumberland]

As far as the groups are concerned.  If I have 2 different networks and 
a third node connect to both of them as well to become a member of both 
groups? Would this also mean that the IP's on each network could not 
conflict?

Thanks again and I really like what I have seen so far in Tinc.
