Would it be better to set up the nodes as master and slave too? - An application opens the slave node. - The file system starts the translator of the slave node. - The slave translator opens the master node. - The file system starts the translator of the master node. - The master translator sets itself as the active translator of the slave node, but does not kill the slave process. - The slave translator now has a send right to the master translator. - The slave translator asks the master translator to take over listening to the port which the application got when it opened the slave node. - The master translator says ok, and starts serving the application. - The slave translator exits. Is this doable and free of races? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
