Absolutely, but dns itself is actually a good example of how
introducing a dependency was necessary to make "a service" usable.
I'm finding this discussion a bit ironic; in my environment, we're strongly
considering pulling all of the naming out of gmond & gmetad, and only doing the
hostname lookups in the PHP front-end. That way there's no need to deal with
DNS or host naming issues in most of the cluster(s) we monitor
Hi,
thanks for the clarification,

Ok, so given t
A couple of clarifications.
1). Spoofing is achieved by creating a spoofing module and having that module
discover the hosts that should be spoofed, in any way the module wants. The
discovery could be done by querying the network for a specific type of device
or appliance or by simply readin
Hi,
while looking at taking advantage of host spoofing a few things came
up that I'd like to discuss. Assuming that host spoofing can be used
for:
a) overriding host names because using PTRs can be a PITA depending on
the infrastructure (for example if you have tun/ethX prefixes)
b) streamlining
