Multi-homed

A worldnet node which needs to be accessible from several Category:planets, without depending on an external ghostnet mirror. This normally means a company must set up the same node on several worldnets, and then organise some system for keeping them in sync. The most common way of doing this is to update each node from an office on that world, and send a data chunk along with other communications between offices. Software is available which merges updates automatically, and many non-technical companies tend to think of their nodes as if it were a single node accessible from anywhere. (though this approach can have its own problems)
