<DIV><SPAN class=421005209-26082005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need some
advices about a design issue. I'm trying to figure out how to manage my
presence information notifications, using RFC 3856.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=421005209-26082005><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have a situation

<DIV><SPAN class=421005209-26082005><FONT face=Arial size=2>Still I'm wondering
if server based presence management is a good idea. My thought is that it
present a scalability issue.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=421005209-26082005><FONT face=Arial size=2>The point is that
having the presence server would have to handle every single SUBSCRIBE &
PUBLISH request then sends NOTIFY to every watchers.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=421005209-26082005><FONT face=Arial size=2>Is it an efficient
way to handle presence in a network with hundreds online users, everyone having
tens of contact on their list.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
