That design pattern could be used to make an http call back to some centralized location and record information in a database or even just use http put to drop it into a file, similiar to how you are using the nfs server, that would free you from the need to have that one nfs server mounted everywhere. _______________________________________________ Help-cfengine mailing list Help-cfengine@cfengine.org https://cfengine.org/mailman/listinfo/help-cfengine
