Hi folks,
while thinking about my plans for using 9P servers in numerious situations I just realized that server management can become quite complex. For example if an application like mozilla would move out many jobs (ie. like currently discussing @ mozilla.org: rss-feeds), server management can be quite complicated. We can't expect neither the user nor the individual application to be responsible for that. We need some zero-configuration approach. Actually it can be done by another server, which knows about all the individual servers, handles startup/shutdown and tells the clients where to find them, how to authenticate, etc, etc. A little bit like RPC portmap. What do you think about this idea ? cu -- --------------------------------------------------------------------- Enrico Weigelt == metux IT service - http://www.metux.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the OpenSource QM Taskforce: http://wiki.metux.de/public/OpenSource_QM_Taskforce Patches / Fixes for a lot dozens of packages in dozens of versions: http://patches.metux.de/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
