Yes, we need to revisit the MPP scenario. Recently, we switched from dhcpd to dnsmasq (not in current builds yet), saving a lot of memory (10MB) and introducing a dns cache. But as Morgan, pointed out there are some bugs to fix (though I suspect we already fixed some). Hope we have time to check them soon.<br>

</div>IIRC the problem with this is that collaboration fails on the XO<br>
acting as the gateway. See #3136, #2980 - and of course your own<br>
