You'll need to justify this point of view. My view: after the initial setup of a shared repository for authenticated state (assertions), bringing up a new node is as simple as cloning an existing one. That is to say the configuration (with respect to CAS) for a new node is identical to existing ones. Contrast this to the rebroadcast implementation where a new node must be configured with the IP addresses of its peers*. I would consider that much more an impediment to scalability. M * I suppose with multicast this would not be the case, but i'm not aware of multicast support and not all networks support it. -- You are currently subscribed to [email protected] as: [email protected] To unsubscribe, change settings or access archives, see http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/JSG/cas-dev
