1 All,
2
3 I've got the mdns stuff working and it looks pretty useful. My plan for
4 now is to work on the mdns code to adjust it so that we have two
5 binaries:
6
7 gold-server-advertise -t <nfs|http|ftp> <url>
8 gold-server-find
9
10 Where the first runs on the gold server and responds to gold server
11 queries and the second runs on the client to find the gold server.
12
13 Then we have bootstrapping support :) The new machine can boot, sort
14 itself out with an IP and then find the gold server and how to talk to
15 it so we can pull our config/install script down.
16
17 I shall hopefully have some code available to play with soon, but it
18 won't be today as I'm not a C expert so we'll need to find help to hack
19 at the C code from mdns.

21 cheers,
