Thomas, at this time I'm not to certain how to go about doing this, that was one of the things I was asing on the list.

This is an idea that I've been toying with for some time now. I've been loking at the structure and design of the TCP/IP protocol suite a lot lately, thinking that there could be a way to clean it up.

However, after considerng what was mentioned on the list about the compatibility, I'll hold off on that, and either try and write another protocol later, or submit my ideas to WC3 for consideration in the next version of their standard.

I currently working on aa DNS server for JOS. Anyone want to talk about implementing TCP/IP and or Berkely sockets?

-David Adams 12/5/97

Sure, I'll help where I can. (I need to do some homework on this)

-WaynePierce 12/7/97

A suggestion: Add to the DNS server the ability to serve addresses of computers with specific service types available thus allowing computers to farm off excess work to under utilised computers

Are you referring to a form of load balancing, between two or more computers using this DNS program and JOS? What would the security implications be?

--WaynePierce 12/22/97

Load balancing like this requires some sort of intelligent client to be run on each machine. Until more of the OS gets written, this can't be done, or even designed.

If a host has an acl (maybe LDAP compliant) and the hosts are listed as objects in a directory a access can be given to other hosts or all hosts to use power, if it is an extention to DNS it can be limited to local domains.

-Chris Lee 01/05/98

If I read it correctly the JNDI (Java Naming and Directory Interface) would allow the communication from the LDAP and DNS. Would this be built as an extension (servlet?) to the DNS (..the way you are referring to it)?
No. I don't believe the DNS has to be modified at all to work with JDNI. The JNDI has services for LDAP, DNS, NIS that each speak to the appropriate server.

Hi everybody, I'm not really an expert but i think i can learn and i've a high interest in helping in this project

Maybe this question is a bit premature, but would the networking code be written towards IPv4 initially, or would we start writing directly for v6 (IPng)?

-Ryan Sullivan 27.1.98

Ryan, I think IPv6 surely. All the DNS stuff I have coded so far is IPv6 compatable.
