-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I have't touched NDS recently but when I last looked root *is* root. That is, except that NDS is partitioned so if you imagine that sections of the tree are sliced into chunks then you end up with a root partition. Also, the partitions are replicated to other servers (not *all* servers, just as needed. this is where a NDS architect is needed) and each replica ring has a master partition. If the master dies then a secondary partition can be promoted to master. All of that exists at a meta layer just above the NDS heirarchical structure. Joshua b.
