Hi Ram,

  The NameService provides a one to one mapping of
keys to object references, so if you want to register
two servers regardless of wether they are related or
not, you have to use different keys for the two
references. The keys must be unique, the references
need not. It sounds like, you want to do some sort
of fault tolerance/load balancing stuff, which does
require more work. You should be able to create
multi profile references, where one profile refers
to server 1, and another profile refers to server 2.
You can bind such a reference in the Name Service
like any other reference. You could also use some
custom application logic to do this sort of thing.

Yours sincerely,

Bjorn
