Ladies and Gents. With permission from Dirk I'd like to announce a little side project to create a non-official description of the SA host file specs. A few folks have expressed a desire to have this information in the past, and Dirk has agreed that it would be fine to publish this as long as it is clearly denoted that the information is non-official, and that host files edited by anything other than ServersAlive will not be supported.
I've created a Yahoo group to get some people focused on the problem. The first step in the process will be deconstructing the file and describing its contents in a document. I've begun the process with a document, and would like some other folks to pitch in. Particularly, I need some folks with Novell, Oracle, and External COM checks to help. If you would like to join the group, or just lurk and see what happens, feel free to go to http://groups.yahoo.com/group/serversalive. You can always contact me directly about the project without joining by emailing me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Step two of the project would be creating libraries to read and decipher the host file for other software, such as report generators. Sky's the limit here. If you're interested please contact me directly or join the project. Don't muddy up the list please.
