[Opensim-dev] Suggested in-world DNS: .sim

[Dzonatas Sol]

That doesn't answer my question.

There are two opensim boxes, with each connected directly to each other, 
peer to peer.

Are you saying, of only these two boxes, that neither of them can a client?

I don't see the latency issue here when the client is directly on the 
opensim box.
