This draft describes and lists the functional requirements of a
federated file system and defines related terms.  Our intent is to
use this draft as a starting point and refine it, with input and
feedback from the file system community and other interested parties,
until we reach general agreement.  We will then begin, again with the
help of any interested parties, to define standard, open federated
file system protocols that satisfy these requirements and are
suitable for implementation and deployment.

        Title           : NSDB Protocol for Federated Filesystems

This document describes a file system federation protocol that
enables file access and namespace traversal across collections of
independently administered fileservers.  The protocol specifies a set
of interfaces by which fileservers and collections of fileservers
with different administrators can form a fileserver federation that
provides a namespace composed of the filesystems physically hosted on
and exported by the constituent fileservers.

	Title           : Using DNS SRV to Specify a Global File Name Space with NFS version 4
	Author(s)       : C. Everhart, et al.
	Filename        : draft-ietf-nfsv4-federated-fs-dns-srv-namespace-00.txt
	Pages           : 11
	Date            : 2008-09-26

The NFS version 4 protocol provides a natural way for a collection of
NFS file servers to collaborate in providing an organization-wide
file name space.  The DNS SRV RR allows a simple and appropriate way
for an organization to publish the root of its name space, even to
clients that might not be intimately associated with such an
organization.  DNS SRV can be used to join these organization-wide
file name spaces together to allow construction of a global, uniform
NFS version 4 file name space.  This document refreshes the draft.
