Ok, so what if I wanted to turn my iMac into my home wifi router with the built in Internet Sharing feature? Assuming I used a third party app to keep it on 24/7, how would this affect the Wake On Demand feature?

I currently use a Time Capsule and all Macs in my household are using Lion so Wake On Demand has been a great feature for iTunes library sharing and for Apple TV, so this question is just for the sake of understanding internet sharing.

If instead of using an Airport base station or Time Capsule, as referenced as the basic requirement in the Apple Wake on Demand support article, if one were to instead use a Mac with internet sharing enabled, would my iMac be able to access the iTunes library of a sleeping Mac in the house for example?

Anyone try this or have experience with this setup? Very curious to hear.
