[ssmt-devel] Server design

[Someone <urh...@si...>]

Hi, 
I agree with Wellington, when he suggested that we should subscribe to
developer mailing list.
The idea of being all (three?) of us online at the same time would be
great, but as I notice we come from different countries and time
difference is quite big (I'm from Slovenia (Europe)). Anyway, i also use
IRC, my nick is someone_ (someone_!~so...@be...) wich is
_always_ online, even if i'm not there.

suggestions for server design:
 * TCP, concurrent (fork() for each client) (maybe we could use SCTP
between linked servers?)
 * message sent from client stores on server until destinated client
connect. Server also sends info about this message (on wich server msg
is located) to other (linked) servers.
 * when client wants to recieve msg, it sends request. server wich
recieve request notify server wich holds message, this server opens
connection to a client and sends the msg.

that's just a basic idea of how server could work. what about (extra)
security, any suggestions?
