[sles-beta] php disappeared in beta6?

[Pieter Hollants]

For discovery, have a look at "serf" (http://www.serfdom.io/) and "consul" (http://www.consul.io/) together with multicast groups. It doesn't get any easier.

     Thanks for chiming in Kai. Your comments simply reinforce what I speculated about. Removal has nothing, nada, to do with offering more, as anyone can see at first glance. It has everything to do with the people who want customers to use the "more" facility. Thus the attempts at gloss and justification continue.

     While here, addressing points by Richard Brown today. Auto discovery of services is basically "designed to fail." One would not want that rating in one's engineering copybook.
     Broadcast/multicast are normally terminated at routers, often terminated upon entry to servers as well. A person/box which naively believes what arrives from goodness knows where gets what they deserve. 
The broad/multicast approach went out more than 20 years ago when MS Windows and Novell IPX traffic flooded our networks.
     May I recommend sound engineering practice here, unicast using known destinations. No "Click Here" for our servers.
     Joe D.
