2897.0. "dfs access to this conference..." by VMSSPT::J_OTTERSON () Thu Jun 07 1990 12:28

Hi,
  I think that it would be very useful to have a dfs access point for this 
conference.  I have found that conferences accessed through DFS/DNS have
significantly faster access.
  
  Comments?

Jeff.

	First of all, there is no DFS access to conferences. NOTES uses its own protocol for connecting to a remote server. There are DNS object names for some conferences. This provides a translation from DNS object name to node::file syntax, and from there, it's as if you had used the node::file syntax and there is no performance difference. The only advantage to a DNS name would be if the conference moved, your notebook would be updated automatically. Steve
