Why not? Can you be more specific as to why you think that LDAP is not
suitable?

Thanks,

I believe that LDAP can be the core of this toolset.

  Why not put everything into a MySQL db? :slight_smile:

  LDAP is a fine tool but it was not designed to do some
  of the things that other tools do. We are not yet at the
  point where all we have the the LDAP hammer so everything
  looks like a db-nail.

Why not?

Well, it depends on what you want to use LDAP for.

For example, take a naive approach: your router crashes. It comes back up. It receives 130,000 prefixes that it needs to validate. For each prefix, your router must do an LDAP query.

Can you be more specific as to why you think that LDAP is not
suitable?

Relatively heavyweight connections and no caching.
