If you need to do this, you would need to modify quickbridge.  This could cause a looping of packets (it shouldn't do, but I could not have thought of something).

Andrew, how would the unicast bridge be affected by this when bridging
a 3.x client with a 2.4 server? Say we have 2 Ag servers, 1 2.4 the
other 3.0.2 broadcasting to the same multicast addresses, but they
each run their own unicast bridge server. Now if  3.x client connects
to one of the "shared" venues, how would the bridge function and place
them in the correct space so everybody else in the room will see them?
