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.
