title: Rules generation All blackholes are configured from the same set of rules -Sub-blackholes may have private rules (unknown to the master blackhole) -Why ? Sub-blackholes receive a subset -Based on the horizons they can reach Rules are made using host name (and vserver name) -Master blackholes use the management network -Sub-blackholes use the production network -Sub-blackholes may reach a host using a different IP /etc/hosts on sub-blackhole vservers -Must be assembled on the fly -We must know on the master blackhole which horizons are reachable from sub-blackholes. -The master can connect to all hosts and retrieve their IPs.
