I'm new to the Jabber architecture and have a quick question about the long term plan for the protocol. One of the clear advantages (over other IM systmes) seems to be user@hostname syntax for the JID. This of course makes it possible for your email address to be your JID. In deploying jabberd, it really begs to be loaded on the server where shmoo.com points and there appears to be no clean way to deploy at a different machine. We went through this years ago with email, and the MX records for DNS were implemented to allow mail clients to find a mail server based on more than just hostname. This makes email service somewhat portable across machines. At any rate, I'd like to know if some solution for this dilemma has been contemplated by the Jabber architects, and whether standardizing on something simple like a "JX" record in DNS would be a smart thing to do.
Thanks, please cc me offlist as I don't follow jdev. pablos. -- Paul Holman The Shmoo Group [EMAIL PROTECTED] 415.420.3806 _______________________________________________ jdev mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mailman.jabber.org/listinfo/jdev
