We have never supported this.
Right now all our lab controllers are on the same network. But when we
allow a remote lab at some vendor they won't be able to talk to another
sites systems.
OK, it looks like I did not understand this clearly. If it is still OK to
pick up machines from different lab controllers on the same network like
we currently have in RHTS, that is perfect fine for me.
This is an infrastructure issue.
Yes, and it will be there for a long time. Not practical to let every lab
have IBM mainframe machines or iscsi servers.
I think this should be implemented with dedicated hardware for
reproducibility. You can't rely on the network acting the same every time.
There is always other ways to implement this.
It is still valid testing scenarios for RHTS. It would be big saver if we
can re-run RHTS infrastructure to test this. For example, I might have a test
case like,
- test LDAP server can handle traffic from 5 slow (>=200ms) remote clients
for 24 hours.
Then, I can use clients in the Beijing lab, and the server in the Boston
lab, since ping time is always >=200ms.
