Name Server
What would a name server look like that supports
1) Life channels (ChannelAccess), including channels provided by backup systems in a redundant setup.
2) Archived channels
3) Possibly other EPICS data sources like Alarm channels?
Hoping to use something existing. Get OpenLDAP [1] and check the following:
- Can it be used to store record names, server addresses, maybe more ('primary' server, fields, ...)? Try a simple setup, use the command-line ldapsearch to retrieve data.
- Does it allow for redundant servers, automatically syncing?
- How to best interface it (API)?
