It's not perfect, but I was just trying to think of a way of reducing the potentially huge increase in unnecessary traffic (and CheckHost_r delays) for sites that don't have any NAT clients and don't care. But if it doesn't matter, then sure, turn it on always. > The file server can use rx NatPing on the callback connection. It > just shouldn't be conditional on a port number. NatPing I'd be more comfortable with turning on unconditionally, since we don't wait for a response or anything and it's just a single packet. -- Andrew Deason [email protected] _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
