Huh. Thats actually quite cool overloading the '^' character to seperate
the destination JID from the proxied JID. Putting on my security hat
though, it exposes the proxied JID to view in the routing information,
which is not good if you are running over a hostile network. This can be
worked around by also allowing an internal gateway identifier.
With the irc transport I allow people to choose an alias for each
account. Basically it replaces the proxied jid, and keeps bandwidth
down. So there's no need to have:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
on romeo's roster because just :
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
would do. (or replace the j.org with whatever alias romeo wants when
he registers his jabber.org account with the hatrack)
