I don't mean to throw in a bone here, but I have a thought. Would it be possible to
add an RPC extension onto Midgard that would facilitate the repligard process? I was
looking at the RPC email floating around and thought it would be a good idea here as
well.
The theory would be, Midgard would have a security web page for repligard which would
say what servers (usernames/passwords maybe) would have the access to read, write,
copy, write to and or replicate your Midgard site. You should also be able to say
which hosts within your Midgard site could be replicated as well. This way, we could
lets say all be running multiple Midgard sites, but only the "midgard" site would be
replicated and not the "my private domain" site. By having an RPC or direct "server
to server" communication, we wouldn't have to worry about externally spawned processes
handling the replication, plus I would think it would be faster.
By having the direct server to server communication, it can also be used as a
triggering mechanism, and lets say replicate the data 1. whenever a change is made 2.
Whenver 10 (or X) changes are made, or 3. After 10 (or X) minutes have passed since
the last replication). These types of triggers and capabilities would make repligard
even more of a killer app.
