From b35f21fb3a19417e2aab82a573ff121a086b224c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Christopher R. Hertel" Date: Wed, 19 Jul 2000 01:21:30 +0000 Subject: First cut toward adding WINS server failover. *Note: failover doesn't actually work yet!* It's just that the code I'm adding provides all of the pieces necessary. I do have one big question. Something that I'll have to ask Jeremy, I'm thinkin'. In nmbd/nmbd_subnetdb.c the IP of the WINS server is used to set up the Unicast subnet. ...so what happens if the WINS server changes? My guess is either: a) nothing. b) I'd have to change the unicast subnet entry whenever the WINS server changes. Urq. BTW, the lp_wins_server() function no longer returns the WINS server name or IP. It returns the list of WINS servers entered in smb.conf. To get the currently 'live' WINS server, use the wins_srv() function. Fun, eh?

WINS replication is particularly useful if you are trying to + * synchronise the WINS namespace between servers in remote locations, or + * if your WINS servers tend to crash a lot. + * + * WINS failover allows the client to 'switch' to a different WINS server + * if the current WINS server mysteriously disappears. On Windows + * systems, this is typically represented as 'primary' and 'secondary' + * WINS servers. + * + * Failover only works if the WINS servers are synced. If they are not, + * then + * a) if the primary WINS server never fails the client will never 'see' + * the secondary (or tertiary or...) WINS server name space. + * b) if the primary *does* fail, the client will be entering an + * unfamiliar namespace. The client itself will not be registered in + * that namespace and any names which match names in the previous + * space will likely resolve to different host IP addresses. + * + * One key thing to remember regarding WINS failover is that Samba does + * not (yet) implement WINS replication. For those interested, sniff port + * 42 (TCP? UDP? ...dunno off hand) and see what two MS WINS servers do. + * + * At this stage, only failover is implemented. The next thing is to add + * support for multi-WINS server registration and query + * (multi-membership). + * + * Multi-membership is a little wierd. The idea is that the client can + * register itself with multiple non-replicated WINS servers, and query + * all of those servers (in a prescribed sequence) to resolve a name. + * + * The implications of multi-membership are not quite clear. Worth + * trying, I suppose. Changes will be needed in the name query and + * registration code to accomodate this feature. Also, there will need to + * be some sort of syntax extension for the 'wins server' parameter in + * smb.conf. I'm thinking that a colon could be used as a separator. + * + * Of course, for each WINS namespace there might be multiple, synced WINS + * servers. The change to this module would likely be the addition of a + * linked list of linked lists. + * + * crh@samba.org + */ + +/* -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** + * Defines... + * + * NECROMANCYCLE - The dead server retry period, in seconds.
