Tinc routing question

Hi Guus,

Thanks for the clarification.

I changed my node configuration to establish a single meta connection
between A and B with ConnectTo instead of AutoConnect (so no meta
connection between A and E exist anymore). Since B is able to directly
connect to D with UDP, all data packets from A to D are now forwarded by
B directly to D.

That is exactly what I wanted.

Many Thanks!
