So who is the group that runs dstusers.eu? And who is "we"? A lot of your posts are quite nebulous ... but if one were interested in these efforts you are providing little details to support it. dstarusers.eu = 89.238.76.109 That address is swip'ed at RIPE to Manitu in St Wendel, Germany. It has no rDNS entry. It answers to HTTP requests with a default Apache page. I guess if I didn't have content to serve up ... I would probably either put a landing page there or disable http ... How many repeaters are on the dstarusers.eu trust server? Where are they? How does one get registered to use a repeater that has joined with that trust server? When you say "we will set one up in Canada and one in the US" ... does "one" mean a stand-alone ICOM TRUST server at each location? (If so - that would mean you would have three separate TRUST server implementations, DL, VE and W?) FWIW: when I first got the gateway v1 software I took the time to actually try a trust server setup as I had a repeater controller and 70cm band module on the bench. We had some local discussions as to whether we wanted to run our own, local multi-site D-STAR system ... which would require a stand-alone trust server - or - be a part of a larger trust server realm. > There is no clashing at all. > The TRUST servers are separate. !!!! We decided to be part of the "larger" network ... for all the reasons that other respondents have mentioned on this list. Although I can acknowledge that there may be some situations where a group may want to have their own trust server and private network ... I would put my money on the majority of both D-STAR users and repeater owners/trustees would lean towards an architecture where all systems can interoperate. Bob W1QA HS0ZIF VR2/W1QA
