Thread-topic: Domain number reservations
Hi Ken,

Chatting to Marko the other day about what domain numbers to use for an
in-house customer PMDA, I noticed we have begun to use numbers from the
start of one of the notionally reserved range of IDs.

src/pmns/Make.stdpmid inserts this comment into stdpmid...

/*
 * NOTE:
 *      Do not edit this file (it is re-created by Make.stdpmid).
 *      To make changes, edit one of the stdpmid.* files, most probably
 *      stdpmid.local, and as root
 *              # make stdpmid
 *
 * The following domain number assignments are assumed to apply
 *
 * Domain Number Range          Use
 *        0                     reserved -- DO NOT USE
 *        1-31                  production PMDAs from PCP packages (#1)
 *       32-39                  ORACLE DBMS PMDAs
 *       40-47                  Sybase DBMS PMDAs
 *       48-55                  Informix DBMS PMDAs
 *       56-58                  SNMP Gateway PMDA
 *       59-63                  Linux PMDAs
 *       64-69                  ISV PMDAs
 *       70-128                 production PMDAs from PCP packages (#2)
 *      129-510                 End-User PMDAs and demo PMDAs
 *      511                     reserved for dynamic PMNS entries -- DO NOT USE


And we're now well into the 130 range.  Do you have any preferences
on range(s) we should set aside for in-house PMDAs now?  Also, should
we update this comment further, since there are several ranges that
are historical & could be improved/reclaimed - DBMS PMDAs, SNMP.

cheers.
