Good suggestion iff number of machines > 2! This is a bit tricky as I only have one solid machine and the laptop. My other machines are a 486-66 crash-box (building RELENG_4 world as I write) and a -current crash box. What I may eventually have to do is make one of these two into a router.

It would be nice, but not essential to serve from the laptop.
