A semi-similar scheme was already used for adding multihomed hosts in the VLDB, so I was assuming that a similar thing would be used for the addresses in VLDB entries; you just make a different call instead of GetAddrsU to get the actual addresses. But that's only for the VLDB. For other places, it sounds easier to just update the structures rather than create a whole new mapping service... but I haven't really thought it through. -- Andrew Deason adea...@sinenomine.net _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-devel mailing list OpenAFS-devel@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-devel
