Since our config file is text, can't we skip any encoding? I agree that
it would be more concise, but we don't send config files around all that
often.

Hi Sam,
I see..So do you wish that we fallback to parsing from server config
file if that were to be specified in place of a server-alias string in
command line..
That shouldn't be too hard, no?
Hmm...well if the server config file isn't specified, why can't the
server just get the hostname instead of requiring an alias?
Yeah I was thinking that if a server config was specified as the second
argument to the pvfs2-server, the server would go ahead and use those
values for endpoint, storage location, logfile, etc.
Any updates on what the current stance on zero-conf based server
startups, i.e. is there still any interest and/or preferred
approaches? :)
Definitely still interest. I'm not sure we've come up with an approach
yet. I would argue a first step toward zero conf would be
encoding/decoding the config using the lebf encoding layer. This would
give us a more efficient representation of the config, as well as make
it easier to modify at runtime.
