The OSF DCE Rationale talks about services inside a cell and between cells. A cell is a group of 2-1000 well-connected hosts, basically all the "local" machines. Services inside a cell are optmised for performance, availability, and management. Services between cells are optimised for interoperablity and scalability (10,000 cells), and tend to be International Standard kind of things. A good example is name service: DECdns inside a cell, X.500 between cells. DECdts adds replicated servers, caching, and some other stuff that X.500 doesn't do. For time service, the "between cells" part of the DCE is left blank. I don't really think that OSF expects DECdts to be the answer for syncronising 10,000 cells. NTP could be the answer. wunder
