At the moment, no.

Nothing, they would go unnoticed. With the current configuration you need to externally partition the space. > * Does this implie that the redirector cannot do load balancing > with those nodes ?? The nodes go unnoticed. They effectively do not exist. So, the answer, I suppose, is yes. > * Does it mean that a single redirector cannot handle more > than 64 nodes and their files ?? At the moment that is true. As I said, we are testing the alpha code now. > * If I use DNS RR, what happens then ?? Does every redirector > gets a set of 64 nodes ??

The limit at the moment is 64 nodes per redirector. To get more, you need to use an external mechanism to partition the name space between groups of 64. In a few weeks we'll have the 64,000 node code available. Andy P.S. I'm sure this disappoints you but hopefully for only a short while :-)
