That is inviting trouble from the managers of the network which must carry such packets. If I were Timo I wouldn't call attention to such use. It's things like this which bring on changes in policy such as the upcoming Milnet "charge-back" for packets sent. Later this year all Milnet sites will be paying for outgoing packets.
