[OSC_dev] newby osc address question

[Gaspard Bucher]

I understand, so this means the mapping to the first target (if I want  
them to be on different networks) has to be done inside the app  
sending osc messages.

This means I should transform the message "/venus/met" to [send "/met"  
to host "venus"] and find my own way to get the IP for "venus".

Is this correct ?
