Hey, you know what. I was going to try to answer this question but wasn't too
sure and didn't want to steer him in the wrong way. What you said is what I
thought but something is bothering me.
Point-to-multipoint. Lets say you have the head, and it's connected to 5
remote ends. On the head you would use basically 5 subinterfaces. Each for a
different remote end. This is easy to me and normal. His question makes me
think though because he is asking if, instead of having one sub-int for each
remote end, to have 4 interfaces and lets say one of those sub-int's for 2 of
the remote ends. I haven't ever seen this done and I'm wondering if it would
work??? Hmmm, interesting thought. Anybody up for it?
