I never stated it'd be limited to a single ip per node ;)

As i said its basically impossible to use classes to identify our
locations...
I was just brain storming ;)

Are there any permanant sites on buildings in/around the city?...or close
suburbs  I can see several highrises from here
Somehow due to the terrain in alot of areas (trees/hills) I think we'll end
up having to daisy chain backbone AP's across the suburbs
to give local nodes access.

Glad I dont live any further down the side of this hill or I wouldnt have
any chance of finding a link anywhere :)
As it is i'm going to need a fairly tall tower/mast to mount antennas on,
are there any legal limits/laws regarding the height of objects on your
property? ;)
