That's cool :D

Another question: If I do a star-like VPN (one server Connects To all 
the others that want to be inside the net -> A server under a NAT won't 
grave it's bandwidth on one bridge-machine to send data to a third PC), 
must the main-server restart the service once the tinc.conf is changed 
and the hosts/*** created?

Or can I just insert a lot of ConnectTo in the tinc.conf and then create 
a lot of hosts/*** that will be changed by the real files, and connect 
to them without restarting the service?

Eventually, if the service must be resetted: what's the WinCMD command 
to restart a service? Just 'sc restart service'?

Thanks :D
