Hi, Instead of depending on local syncup to configuration files, would it be a nice way to adopt JINI Discovery model, where in masters and slaves can discover each other dynamically through a UDP broadcast/heart beat methods.
This would mean, any machine can come up and say I am a slave and automatically discover the master and start supporting the master with in < x seconds.
