Raymond,

He and I chatted offline, and I can't really wrap my mind around his
approach to networking.  He has some really weird notion that it's better
to put each VLAN on a separate switch.  He says he can't add another VLAN
until he spends $500 for another layer 3 switch because he doesn't like the
idea of having a mix of vlans assigned to ports on the same switch... even
though that's the whole reason that layer 3 switches were created in the
first place.

Anyway... I don't think he wanted help, just wanted to understand why
Mythtv only listens on a single IP.
