I spoke with a customer recently that has a need for exactly this type of cross zone communication. They need it in both the TX and non-TX cases. In their case they want the GZ to be required to setup the channels but also want two local zones to be able to communicate without requiring IP networking (longer term Crossbow may help them and they could use IP networking but for now they can't). This customer would also like to do the same thing with doors. -- Darren J Moffat
