I walked through the following tutorial and discovered that RingFinger from a client will only find ringservers within its subnet: http://segment7.net/projects/ruby/drb/rinda/ringserver.html Is there anyway one could use this package on multiple networks? Perhaps a properties file that lists hostnames that could be potentially running ringservers? It's difficult to find english docs on Rinda & Tuplespace :-( I'm new to it honestly but find it hard to believe that it will only work on one lan segment. Thank you.
