Based on your description, what you really want is broadcast GRE. Check out http://linux-ip.net/gl/ip-tunnels/node9.html for a basic description. If Amazon doesn't route multicast for you (which I'd imagine they don't, there's info in the above doc on getting this going without multicast. Since you've got some way to discover neighbors for vtun, do the same things to build your tunnel mesh. Ross -- Ross Vandegrift ross@xxxxxxxxxxx "If the fight gets hot, the songs get hotter.
