If this does what I think it does, then it'd be a real treat to get it up
and running in proxy scenarios where multicasting is available (client
fires up, asks for the interface of the nearest "proxy server" and
connects directly).
Any indication of whether or not Netscape or Microsoft will be
implementing this?
