[Freeipa-devel] Multicast SSL for Server Broadcast

[Rob Townley]

i was just wondering if multicast ssl (or multicast over a vpn such as
IPsec) has been considered as a way to efficiently replicate
information from one server to all other servers.  i was specifically
thinking of multicasting tracking bad password attempts from one
server to all the other servers.

i don't know anything about multicast ssl except that IBM worked on it
in the late 1990's and it was supposed to support reliable transport.
It may simplify things if all the servers had the same certificate...
