Hi Everyone,

Still no response to my question, maybe it is too vague... Basically
my installation is getting too big to handle with having to maintain
separate security databases for each server. I really would love to see
something like LDAP for all of these DB servers like we have on our file
servers. My setup is basically:

Main Site:
10 DB servers (hosting around 20 different Interbase databases)

Backup Site:
10 DB servers (rsyncing the gdb files from the main site nightly)

Alternate Site:
3 DB servers (hosting special Data Entry only Interbase databases that
feed back into the main site every 10 minutes)


It is starting to become unmanageable to keep all of these isc4.gdb
files in sync all of the time. Any help from anyone else with the same
situation would be greatly appreciated. We are mulling over moving to
Firebird once SMP support because available, but our main app uses the
BDE and InfoPower components like crazy and I am not sure on the
Firebird support for that.

Thanks,
Steve
