I'm in the process of building a Jabber Server from scratch. Since the server may have to handle many tens of thousands of users, I'm planning to incorporate load distribution.
My question is with regard to scalability and servers. I plan on running N servers to service M users and I think it's kludgey to require that users in an enterprise solution be distributed over many servers and have to remember their server or those of the people they wish to communicate with in the enterprise. If everyone works for company "MyCompany", then everyone should be able to connect as (for instance) "FirstName.LastName@MyCompany" rather than "FirstName1.LastName1@server3" and "FirstName2.LastName2@server7", etc. I can think of several ways of accomplishing this but is there a standard way for Jabber servers to handle this problem? Although the server I am building is intended to be closed (i.e. non-public) maintaining Jabber interoperability is important. Thanks for any info. - Ian _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
