(This discussion about vl-messaging and vl-cluster branches somehow went 
private at some point though it should be on samba-technical@ due to a 
scope of changes it introduces)

Volker,

I think it is good approach, I'd like to get this revived in 
vl-messaging branch. It would be good to use it to write a daemon 
replacement for tdb ('tdbd') which acts as messaging-system based 
backend for the dbwrap layer and uses existing messaging abstraction in 
the vl-messaging for communication between processes.

Actually sending the patch helps a lot...
