  Yea, the more I thought, the more it all makes sense..  ;-P  This is also an VERY good way to deal with allowed remote usage or not..  If there is no DNS for it, no one remote can use it..

  Speaking of which, how well will etherx talk to etherx currently?  Aka, if I have etherx and jabbertransport starting on bootup (Which I do) can I start throwing stuff out to jer at jabber.org?  Haven't even tried, but the capabilities there, just wasn't sure if it was fully implemented..
