Folks,

For a multi-machine network of Plan 9 services, would = it be
normal to have an authsrv machine that only r= uns that service,
and uses a standalone local files= ystem, and then have a separate
server running dns+= dhcp+tftp to PXE boot client machines.=C2=A0 The
la= tter would be backed by a 3rd machine that is the fileserver.

I'm trying to figure out the op= timal way to maintain the systems
without duplica= ting work, and run now an auth+dns+dhcp+tftp
server= appears to require maintenance of two separate filesystems
to manage the /lib/ndb/* and kernel files.
