I am thinking about using twisted as the framework of my distributed application, and I have some questions about it. I want the application to be divided into processes, each dealing with a specific aspect of the application; some in a central server and some in arbitrary machines in a local network. I�ll use the Perspective Broker protocol for communication, but I want each process to know the addresses of all the others and be able to communicate with the others without prior knowledge of their location. How is it usual to do such a thing? I thought of a central server holding the addresses of processes, such that each process registers its details at start-up, and gets notified when there are changes in the list of processes (similarly to the Pyro name server). To detect the location of the central server I suppose a broadcast mechanism should be used, although I don�t know what a broadcast mechanism is exactly and whether it is supported by Twisted or not. Is there anything like this already implemented in Twisted? Thanks, Joe. __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo!
