If I understand your question properly, you want to detect the appearance
of groups at the end of a tunnel. The mrouted at the other end of the
tunnel should detect the presence of groups, i.e. a router can only
detect groups on any attached interface.

I don't see why the path of the dump files should be changed to
/var/tmp and /var/run. A number of systems do not have a directory
called /var/run.

Good point. Let me check the operation of this.

Thanks for the help,
