 A few new-to-named-pipes questions...

Am I correct in assuming that it is the 'non-passing' for certain
IP/UDP broadcast packets that prevents 'stock' named-pipes from
working across IP routers?

If that is the only reason, then could one expect named-pipes to work
across a router that could be configured to pass these broadcasts in a
controlled manner? (no loops and all that...)

inquireing minds and all...
