You're imposing a client-server scheme on tinc, even though tinc has always
been intended as a system where all nodes are "equal" (peer-to-peer, so to
speak). It's best to make all participating tinc nodes connect to each
other as much as possible. This way they have a fallback if the central
node fails. You can use multiple ConnectTo lines in your configuration
files.

HTH, HAND,
