Make host service being client too

Hi again :wave:

Yes, that will work. The main change is the PLC is becoming a Ziti client too, like the HMI, but for a different Ziti service.

You can use a router sidecar for the PLC to provide both functions:

  1. host.v1 for PLC SIEMENS with a target address like 127.0.0.1:102 (TCP)
  2. intercept.v1 for the PLC OMRON

This means the PLC SIEMENS node will need only the router sidecar for both Ziti services and functions as a server-side host for one and client-side dialer for the other.

I shared a live collaboration diagram link with you in a private message. Will you see if it makes sense and edit at will to reflect your aim?
