Thought I'd take a look at how this worked. My first question is: why are we sending stanzas to the repeater using <iq/>s? Why can't I create a repeater, using <iq/>s of course, and then begin sending stanzas directly to the repeater which then forwards them out to everyone? Looking at the examples, it looks like the repeater service is giving each repeater a JID. Sending stanzas to it directly ought to work. Perhaps something like: > Example 1. Stanza as sent to repeater > <presence xmlns='jabber:client' > from='[EMAIL PROTECTED]/foo' > to='[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > type='probe'/> One problem is that all of the management use cases in the XEP would probably need to be changed so that repeating <iq/> stanzas is simpler. This is easily changed by making the repeater service's JID handle all management requests for individual repeaters. - Nolan Eakins -- SemanticGap(R) - http://www.semanticgap.com/
