namecache

[Andrew R. Reiter]

Helo

Awhile back I shot a patch to this list for review that locked down some
stuff in the namecache arena.  I feel the patch was OK, but not great.

What I want to do is something w/o any locks, but I dont feel I have a
good enough grasp of that code base to do something really well since I
know it would most likely require a rewrite of that code.  I know solaris
restructured their namecache implementation to do something similar.  Tho,
I am not sure about irix or others.

To the point; anyone know of any good papers on this subject (namecache
implementations)?

Thanks,
Andrew
