[mrtg] Re: Config Archive Update

[Bryan Bond]

That would be cool for the domain name, I like config.mrtg.org myself.
The ip is http://208.55.137.249

I was thinking about mySQL as the best way to do it. My server already has
it and supports PHP as well. So that is probably the route I will take.
My goal (like we ever really meet our 'goals' in a project like this...) is
to have a forms based submission process that will interface with mySQL
directly so there won't have to be any manual process involved in getting
submissions up on the site.
Since the plan is to have each OID being used submitted as a separate config
entry, size should never be an issue for the BD or for each entry.

We'll have to see how it goes from here.

If you want, I'll delegate you a site such as config.mrtg.org,
or archive.mrtg.org, or somethign else if you'd like.

Unless you have another domain name in mind.  For a search engine,
and possibly as a solution to forms based submission, you might look
at PHP/mySQL.  You could create a table with architecture, operating
system, mrtg version, hardware target type, and config as rows.
simple SQL commands would allow you to search based on any of these, or
any combination of these.  Even storing the configs, or tar files, as
entries in the database probably wouldn't be that hard, and unles you
start to get really huge multi-MB submissions.
SQL makes search "engine" finctions pretty easy, without needing a 
seperate search engine like the UltraSeek search engine.
