> flexibility that would lead to bad user experiences: do you have a<br>> specific<br>> example to illustrate ?<br>Almost all of the individual server can potentially load an array of<br>plugins. In the case of the grid server, it will be possible to attach two
<br>different grid server plugins, e.g. one for deepgrid and one for osgrid.<br><br>Lets say we have that scenario, and the user logs into osgrid, then<br>teleports to a place which isn't on osgrid, but the plugin chaining
<br>redirects to deepgrid, now the user has moved deepgrid, probably without<br>knowing it. so lets say deepgrid has two sims<br><br>LiveConcert and Sandbox<br><br>OSgrid also has two sims<br>ArtDisplay and Sandbox<br><br>
in my scenario the user is in "ArtDisplay" and teleports to "LiveConcert",<br>since we - in this scenario - have two plugins in the grid server, the tp<br>will work, and the user ends up in "LiveConcert"
<br><br>so what happens to the users contact list, im's, what happens to name2id<br>lookup, in case of two av's with identical names?, what will a consistent<br>experience be?<br><br>lets say the user tp's to Sandbox, what grid will he end up in?
</blockquote><div><br>Ugh. yeah this is bit "too much" of flexibility :) a single sim should be only in one administrative domain, imho. (actually i did not dig into the plugins for the grid mode, I kind of assumed that the sim can be only on *one* grid at a time - and then the interdomain layer would be on top...
<br><br>If it is as you describe, then it's indeed a recipe for some tears for the user who comes up with such a creative way to attach the sim. so - +1 there :)<br><br>/d<br></div><div><br> </div><br></div>
