> Hi all,
>
> as i'm using a farm of LXC hosts I want to add a  network wire feature  to
> the "API wishlist". In fact, this might be some frontend daemon, which
> offers remote network access to local LXC in conjunction with a proxy
> client counterpart, which will locally provide the API of an remote host.
> To be serious, this network interface will need some kind of authentication.
>
> To allow access to multiple remote hosts, the usage of the LXC-API will
> need some (optional) address feature. And the userland programs either all
> need to support an option for this. Or there might be a clever trick to
> pass it's run to an special proxy program (use 'lxc-proxy remote  lxc-foo
> ...' instead of 'lxc-foo ...') or an environment variable evaluated by the
> API-lib (use 'lxc_proxy=remote lx-foo ...').
>
> This set of features will allow on to build up an application for
> centralized LXC cluster status visualization and control.
>
> I guess, is it what was D-Bus designed for?
