Actually, the portmapper protocol does not contain the ip just the port so you wouldn't able to use it for that. Besides, let load-balancers load-balance. Let the AS/400 do the database stuff it's so great at. -Walden ------------ Walden H Leverich III President Tech Software (516)627-3800 x11 WaldenL@TechSoftInc.com http://www.TechSoftInc.com -----Original Message----- From: Steve Richter [mailto:srichter@AutoCoder.com] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 01:03 To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: Re: Dynamic server ports I am not sure if this is possible or necessary, but the use of port 449 to assign the actual port could be useful for load balancing. If the system has more than 1 network card, the "port assigner" could route the connection to a nic that is the least busy.

Why do we need a > standard to tell us what is already an existing standard? For standard ports, there's usually no problem. But which port will you connect to on my system to reach the tom_liotta_examples service? And when I change that port at midnight because I need to use it for the black_hole service, which port will you connect to then?
