Yes. I think it's a improvement to the -s option anyways. I was thinking the same thing when I work on the example. With this, the example doesn't need the customized command any more (xl-migrate-command/xl-ssl-migrate-command). (But haven't decided how to do the migration yet; the socat just a example) Thanks, Zhigang _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list Xen-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.xen.org/xen-devel
