perfsonar development work

[Chris Welti <>]

Well, CLS might not be the correct term, but it is different from the current
approach where each NREN uses their own LS to register services.
Which is quite stupid because when something changes (like the URL after an
upgrade, or a new NREN comes in to play) everyone has to change their set of
LSes as well.

What I'd like to see as an "inbetween" solution is ONE central LS, for example
"ls.perfsonar.net" where every current NREN registers their services.
This would make testing and deployment much easier!

Regards,
Chris

PS: Please note, that this is of course only an interim solution until the dLS
is ready
