RE: Internet Storage Name Server iSNS Proposal

Scott,

I agree, LDAP would be used within an enterprise or larger environment.  The
process of booting a diskless workstation would be DHCP, LDAP, NET-SCSI.  In
the simple case of perhaps just a fixed machine boot, DHCP, NET-SCSI. For a
user option, a flat file should suffice within the boot medium.  You will
also find open source code for DHCP as well as DNS at
http://www.nominum.org.  DHCP could pass all required information in the
minimalistic approach.  The DHCP server would match machine address to
machine address.  For those who understand, no epexegesis is necessary, and
for those that don't, no epexegesis is adequate.
