Hi all. Novice question alert; we are fairly new to use of OpenSLP.

Suppose an application has registered using SLPReg successfully in an 
environment without the Directory agent.  If the local Service Agent fails for 
whatever reason and must be restarted, all registrations held by that Service 
Agent are lost.

How does the application get notified, if at all, that it should close its 
handle, open a handle and register again?  Is there any notification provided 
via the registration callback?  I don't think so, from what I have read.   My 
conclusion is that there isn't a way for a registered process to know if the 
openSLP infrastructure on which it depends fails and has been re-initialized.

Such notification would have to be done by some other monitoring entity, 
presumably the same entity which notices the SLP infrastructure failure and 
recovers it.   Are these correct assumptions?

Thanks very much for any advice.
