| To properly answer this question one has to ask many others.
If the only desired result is to pass control to another
manager in another data center, that capability exists today.
Since Domains are registered entities and domain membership
is registered, any set of users who desire to share a domain
and to pass off control have those capabilities today. It takes
no explicit functionality to support this, it only takes administrative
centers.
However, if as I suspect, these data centers are formalized and
are working on trouble tickets and problem reports which also need
to be passed on. That is not a domain question but a question about
the futures of trouble tickets and problem reports. If there is an
issue of access control and that control via a domain should be
restricted to a set time period by any particular data center or
operator, it is not clear that DECmcc will ever go that route.
If when you pass control of a domain, you wish to pass a set of
context about the current operation of the domain and the historical
data that is collected, then you have an expectation of domains that
does not match our vision of domains.
From your question I can assume that you have a much richer expectation
of what a domain is and what we use it for than we have.
A domain is a simple way to subset a network for many possible uses.
We add no further value to Domains to specialize them for particular
uses. You are assuming one particular use of domains and asking
what our plans for it are. To give you better quality answers we need
a more complete description of what you expect a domain to be for
a strict data center operation.
If our answer isn't what you would like it to be, remember that you
have the ability to write your own Management Module which can use
domains as a building block to customize the operation in a way
that fits your customers needs.
