- If you're using a Cisco router you can configure it to selectively forward
- a very well defined set of broadcasts to another address. This is done by
- the 'IP-Helper address' command, which will re-direct broadcasts coming from
- a specified UDP port to another IP address (can be a broadcast on another
- subnet)
- I know it's not generally good policy to have broadcasts flying everywhere!
