RE: [saml-dev] Help with network setup for the show?

IMHO, it would be great if monitors could
be provided.  I indicated in my power requirements that we'd
possibly have 1, but I limited it because I didn't want to hassle with
the shipping.  I planned on making it a 21" job to make the display
easier to read for people standing around.  Ideally, we should have a
couple per vendor, I would think.  

 

Now that I think about it, please upgrade
my power request to include 2 monitors instead of one.  If you can't
supply them, I will see if I can get a couple shipped over from our SF office.

 

Hubs will work, switches would be better. I
wasn't worrying too much about net performance.

 

Re: DNS - our DNS server will be on
a Win2K Server running on a laptop.  I'm sure we can dump the config
info for setting up yours. I'm not a DNS management expert on how to do
that, although I'm sure I can find someone to do it. I'm not sure
what you're thinking in terms of a tar ball, as I would expect the config
info to just get dumped as text which I'd just send you.  If you're
using a Sun box for DNS, a dump of anything else wouldn't be compatible
anyway.

 

Thanks!

Robert, 

I'm
looking into what Sun can do, including potentially providing extra, large
monitors for the show so that people don't have to ship any out. I would need
to know who needs one in advance and have no idea whether I can make this
happen. I'm also asking about the hubs/switches (wouldn't we want switches? I
guess performance won't be much of an issue). 

For the
dry run we need to provide a DNS server as well. Is there any chance we could
ftp a tar ball with what your folks have setup and just leverage it?

I assume someone (Sun?) is configuring a DNS server for the
west coast dry run as well - I don't recall anyone mentioning it, so I thought
I'd remind folks. 

I'm pretty sure I can supply network hubs for the dry run,
but would really like to avoid carrying that gear to the show as well. 

Can someone on the west coast supply some for the show?
