 NAME
      glb_site.txt - file listing possible Global Location Broker sites

 SYNOPSIS
      /etc/ncs/glb_site.txt (Apollo Domain/OS workstations at SR10.2 or
      later)
      /etc/ncs/glb_site.txt (HP-UX systems and other UNIX-like systems)
      ncs$exe:glb_site.txt (VMS systems)
      \ncs\glb_site.txt (MS-DOS systems)

 DESCRIPTION
      The glb_site.txt file lists the network addresses of hosts where a
      Global Location Broker (GLB) daemon may be running.

      There are two versions of the GLB daemon: glbd and nrglbd.  The
      replicatable version, glbd, is provided only for Domain/OS, HP-UX,
      SunOS, and ULTRIX systems.  For other systems, the non-replicatable
      version, nrglbd, is used.  The two versions of the daemon should not
      coexist on a network.  (For HP-UX systems, which may have both glbd
      and nrglbd, using only glbd is strongly recommended.)

      Ordinarily, programs contact a GLB by broadcasting on the local
      network.  However, some systems do not support broadcasting.  Also, in
      certain internet configurations, not every network can have a GLB.
      (This typically occurs in internets that use nrglbd, but it can also
      occur in an internet that uses glbd if not all networks include a host
      that can run a glbd.) For hosts that cannot locate a GLB via
      broadcast, the glb_site.txt file provides a list of addresses where
      the host can try to directly contact a GLB.

      Each line in glb_site.txt contains a network address where a GLB may
      be running.  Hosts that have a glb_site.txt file try these addresses
      in order.  Each address has the following form:

           family:host

      The family is the textual name of an address family.  Possible values
      include ip and dds.

      host is a host name.  A leading # can be used to indicate that the
      host name is in the standard numeric form (such as #192.9.8.7 or
      #515c.111g).

      Blank lines and lines beginning with # are ignored.

      If a host has a glb_site.txt file but does not find a GLB at any of
      the addresses listed in the file, the host then tries to locate one
      via broadcast.

      See Managing NCS Software for information about Location Broker
      configuration.
