<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>folks,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i'm considering writing a backend abstraction layer
and a sql (mysql or sql-lite) backend implementation. this is something i
personally would like to see implemented given what i'd like to use nsd for. in
that vein, i have a few (stupid?) questions:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. does anyone have any input/tips/pointers on
getting this done?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. this region business is confusing - what are
they exactly? pointers so i can rtfm/rtfs are welcome.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. what would make the most sense in terms of
abstracting the logic out of the current parser?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>4. does this stand a chance of being accepted
(after appropriate testing and ifdef'ed of course)?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>i'm going to do a bit more source reading and will,
provided i don't get flamed to heck and back for even thinking of implementing
such heresy, post a summary of how i plan to implement it so folk with more clue
can point out any (inevitable) problems.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>cheers,</FONT></DIV>
