I assume another ser server receiving an update must both write to DB and
do a t_replicate to other ser servers who then do save_memory() as Paul
responded in his last email to Karl?
t_replicate and save_memory will be necessary no more. Updates will
propagate through the database. You can use mysql cluster and then all
ser instances can be configured with the same table -- mysql cluster
can handle conflict resolution internally.
There is one
drawback though -- nathelper as it is implemented right
now will not work anymore -- we would need to rewrite it to use the
contents of the database.
Are you referring to the ping feature only or are there other things as
well? Reading all NATed devices from DB every 30 seconds?
Yes, I am referring to the NAT pinger. We would need something that
would walk through the entries in the database and send ping packets
to those that are behind NAT.
