multiple nodes/servers

[Maxim Vorontsov]

Hi.

In general, you don't need to have 50 keys in /etc/tinc/hosts.

In default Mode you can have nodes A, B, C and X, Y, Z.
Node A have keys from B, C and X, and node X have keys from Y, Z and A.

In that case node B can work with node Z without distributing keys between
them.

You can read about modes in tinc manual -
http://tinc-vpn.org/documentation-1.1/Main-configuration-variables.html#Main-configuration-variables

If you want to use only one key pair, it should work. You just need to set
right filename for public key file on each node. And probably edit
variables in this file - Subnet, for example.
But in my opinion, it is damn bad practice.
