     Using 2.0RC4 & SP

   It appears possible that something like this could be done and would be great if any interest was here to take it on. More explanation here - http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=414755

......bump.....

  Can anyone else at least confirm this can be done  ???

It's doable, but 1) it's distinctly non-trivial, beyond the skill of a good proportion of the mod authors here, 2) it's sufficiently complicated that even if someone does develop it, it's unlikely to be free, 3) even if someone does develop it and it is free/reasonably priced, it's not particularly easy to support or configure which will just further discourage someone from doing it if they end up spending far more time trying to help people configure it because of the very diverse sets of server configurations.
