DHT - IP address

Hi,

I'd like to have some info on DHT. In particular I would like to know if it is possible to "force" a different IP address for the DHT.
Suppose for example that I want to use the DHT only inside a LAN , I would like to report my local IP address instead of the NAT one.
Is this possible? Can you give me any hints so I can try to modify the code myself?

Thanks,

Tristan

no. you don't want dht. disable it and enable local peer discovery instead.

Thanks for your reply.

What does it happen if the LAN is divded into different subnets and broadcast traffic does not get forwarded? Does the local peers discovery work?

Thanks again.
