| #### GDS Configurations A GDS machine can be configured in two ways: · Client Only A node can contain only the client side of GDS. This node can access remote DSAs and cache some information in the DUA cache. · Client/Server A machine can be configured with both the GDS client and server. This is the typical configuration for a machine acting as a GDS server. This configuration can be useful even if a node acts mainly as a client because the DSA can be used as a larger, more permanent cache of information contained in remote DSAs. The following figure shows a GDS client configuration that goes through the network to access a DSA on another machine running the GDS Client/Server configuration. GDS Configurations ####
