<PRE>Hey guys,
	My name is Alfred and my &quot;credentials&quot; are that I am the &quot;father&quot; of 
admin mod (<A HREF="http://www.adminmod.org">http://www.adminmod.org</A>) along with being a devloper for some 
other hl based mods (firearms for eg).
	I work as a research engineer into tactical networks, so I have a fair 
bit of experience with comms effects in harsh conditions (i.e the 
general internet).

	Anyway, my question is, why did you develop your own distributed 
architecture? Why not adapt/extend/use an existing solution such as 
CORBA or DCOM (urgh, I know, win32 only). CORBA has a fair amount of 
support and it can be coaxed to have the characteristics you need. I am 
not saying you should change, I was just wonder what led you to make 
your own? It just seems that the overheads of designing a naming and 
authentication service are something that CORBA would have done away with.
