[dev-serveez] ideas

[Raimund 'Raimi' Jacob]

hi!

this is an idea-only email to remind Stefan :-)

1) solaris linker problem
 easiest way to solve is to remove -liberty in the LIBS of
 libserveez. this should do the job. if this doesnt work
 due to other dependencies: add `gcc --print-libgcc-file-name`
 if we're on solaris, shared libserveez and have a gcc.

2) named-interface binding
 try to SO_BINDTODEVICE. if that works provide it in portcfg.
 perhaps user can choose between "ipaddr" and "device".

3) allow IPADDR_ANY again :-)
 enable as (ipaddr . "*") but provide current behavior with
 (ipaddr . all). this introduces 4)

4) allow mix of "*" and special ip addresses
 when both a bind to "*" and a bind to a special ip address occur the
 actual bind has to be done to "*". when a connection is attempted the
 server ip address has to be examined and the correct server(s) have to
 be queried. start with the more special one.
 test what happens when "*" and special bindings are used together.

... good luck ...

Bye,
    Raimi
