Multithreading the KDC server - a design

[Rahul Srinivas]

Hi,
    There are eDirectory deployments in which *each* replica contains more 
than 1 million objects (most of which correspond to users). I am 
collecting information on the actual deployment scenarios. I will post it 
on this list as soon as I get it.

Regards,

-Rahul S.
