I'd like to echo Chris' comment about letting admins know if there is an
issue with a bridge (for me this list is fine for that). In my case, we
have reliable multicast in across our statewide fiber network that just a
few of our sites need to use our unicast bridge - which is there mostly
for emergency problems and sometimes i won't notice if there is an issue
with it right awayĆ .
