DNS changes don't meet our particular needs well for the first case. We we make
extensive use of the failover ability in Netscape 4.75.
The second option is not currently available though we have been thinking about trying
to achieve it through referrals. In this regard we expect referrals to become an
increasingly important source for address completion-- in our state, Wisconsin, both
the University of Wisconsin and the state government will be implementing public ldap
servers in the not too distant future.
It also is a desirable feature to us to have the ability to customize the attributes
displayed in the addressbook.
Mind you, I am pleased to get anything into Mozilla, and thank those of you doing the
work. But I thought I ought to say what would be desirable to us.
