Hi, Andy!

I can't quite see how the setup with one master aviolates security. Yuo
secure pool is still protected by a firewall from certian clients. Master
only tell a client which pool to use.

Absence of this setup, actually, forces people to make all their servers
open to world where they may need only few.

And, again, in dcache you have only one head node for all your needs, and
site hapily deploy it.
