[arm-allstar] remote receivers for repeater

Sun Oct 22 18:09:20 EST 2017

Glenn,

 Whenever you have multiple servers on a LAN and your router does not do
hairpin loopback and* <http://www.crompton.com/hamradio>*especially when
ports are different and always when you use private nodes you have to
manually route from each server TO AND FROM every server you want to
connect to. See this howto at hamvoip.org -

https://www.hamvoip.org/multi-server%20howto.pdf

Allstar uses a database to lookup nodes. If they are private there is no
lookup and even if they are not, the IP address returned is your public IP
not LAN IP and many router do not know how to handle that. Also always use
port in routing - IP_address:port
