Another discussion we need to have is distribution of the introducer.<div><br></div><div>As it stands, the introducer is the single-point-of-failure in Tahoe-LAFS.</div><div><br></div><div>I have intentionally set up the introducer furl to point to a domain name rather than the IP of my server so that the nodes do no have to be repointed if something happens to my server -- I just have to deploy a new introducer and update the DNS table to point to the new home of the introducer.</div>
<div><br></div><div>This somewhat mitigates the single-point-of-failure as far as the actual server is concerned. I will make a backup of the introducers files and keep them on an encrypted volume in my pocket, which is all well and good, but only goes so far....</div>
<div><br></div><div>Now, what happens if I "get hit by a bus?"</div><div><br></div><div>Thoughts?<br clear="all">----<br>- Think carefully.<br>
