Ideas for a new VLANserver

[Marc ARIBERTI]

With Christophe Massiot, we had some ideas to create a new 
VLANserver based on the previous one :

1 - the first idea is to replace the builtin database by a 
PostgreSQL DB :
	* postgres is very reliable
	* postgres in easy to use
	* data is stored on the disk
	* conccurent access is easy to manage
	* it is more flexible (partial db reload for eg)
	
2 - separate processes could be a good idea : if one crashes 
(ex: part which communicates with vlc), the other could still
run (ex: the snmp engine which is doing the reload).

3 - some parts of the existing one could be easily reused (especially
the SNMP part)

We want to do this only for tests purpose and for fun. This would probably
never reach the production state.

Waiting for your opinion on the subject...
