Subject: [9fans] Server management
Date: Thu, 13 Sep 2007 16:11:41 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20070913141141.GA11706@nibiru.local> (raw)
Hi folks,
while thinking about my plans for using 9P servers in numerious
situations I just realized that server management can become
quite complex.
For example if an application like mozilla would move out many
jobs (ie. like currently discussing @ mozilla.org: rss-feeds),
server management can be quite complicated. We can't expect
neither the user nor the individual application to be responsible
for that. We need some zero-configuration approach.
Actually it can be done by another server, which knows about
all the individual servers, handles startup/shutdown and tells
the clients where to find them, how to authenticate, etc, etc.
A little bit like RPC portmap.
What do you think about this idea ?
