Well anyone on yobbo has a 10.252.x.x address, so it is pretty easy to put a route on your firewall that directs all 10.252.x.x traffic out to the yobbo connection. [1] Obviously you need to know which machine you want to connect to. The network is probably small enough to handle name resolution through /etc/hosts perhaps updated rsync. You'd probably want some sort of directory, eg a machine that has a list of other services, even if it is as simple as a bookmark page. You'd also need to have a well organised group of people prepared to spend a good proportion of their monthly allowance on mirroring whatever distro was their part of the bargain. [1] I understand the setup is: All network addresses are based on 10.252.x.x 252 being the Yobbo Christchurch network. * 10.252.1.1 = Default gateway to LAN with windows2000(FTP server) server and Linux server(fourums) internet uplink etc. * 10.252.16.1 = Default gateway for Riccarton Subnet * 10.252.24.1 = Default gateway for City Subnet * 10.252.32.1 = Default gateway for Linwood Subnet
