As long as that host is up, it will tell all other nodes about each others IP addresses. Normally, that will cause traffic between those other nodes to go directly between them, not via the host with dyndns. The only problem is when the dyndns host goes down, and if all other nodes only have a ConnectTo that host, then they won't be able to see each other anymore. A simple solution is to set up dyndns for a few nodes, and add ConnectTo statements to those nodes. If you really don't like setting up dyndns on more nodes, then you could also write a host-up script that records the most recently seen addresses of nodes. An example of such a script can be found here: http://www.tinc-vpn.org/pipermail/tinc/2009-March/001893.html In tinc 1.1, there is the AutoConnect feature which replaces manual ConnectTo statements. -- Met vriendelijke groet / with kind regards, Guus Sliepen <[email protected]>
