Access By Servers

In this model, distinct servers have separate and distinct name entries, and clients import bindings directly from the server entries. Hence, an application using this kind of binding model will own just as many simple entries in the namespace as there are active servers.

Since the client in this model is looking for a specific server, imports will be done directly from the server entries. The only exception to this rule would be where two or more instances of a server were active on the same host, and it was indifferent to the client as to which one it is bound to. The entries for the multiple same-host servers then could be put into a group entry, and binding imports done from the group.
