db - connection service database

/services/cs/db

Description

The connection service database file is read by the connection server daemon, cs, when it receives a request with a machine name of the form $service.

The file consists of a two column list (separated by whitespace) of the form

	$service			hostname

Once the hostname for a given service is identified, the connection server converts the hostname into an internet address.

Blank lines and comments (lines beginning with #) are ignored.

A running connection server daemon notes the modification time of the database file before each use. If the file has changed, the daemon uses the latest definitions.

Example

$MPEG				infernocpu
$SIGNER				dante
$FilesERVER				dante
$MAILSERVER				dante
