Re: Backend storage for an LIR IP mgmt system
- Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 13:56:47 +0100
Hi Ben and all,
As you may remember from an earlier message. We are currently working on an[ Not an answer, but FYI: ]
open source LIR IP address management tool and would like your feedback on
the following question.
What is the preferred choice of backing storage (database) for the IP
allocations and pertaining information?
We currently have implemented an XML2 backend and a Berkeley DB backend, and
intend to add LDAP (actually OpenLDAP)? Would anybody strongly want
something else? and why?
In installing a few existing tools, we found DB setup to be the most time-consuming and error-prone part. So we want to provide an easy "DB-less" install for users who don't have their own and would be confused by a DB setup, but allow users with their own DBs to use them. We'll use Perl DBI/DBD to make this easier.
Cheers,
Maldwyn
