It is possible to link names.dat to a central names.dat, but you should be aware, that there may occur temporary inconsistencies, if multiple users use the nameserver at the same time.
The name server examines names.dat and terminates within 5-10 seconds if the file changes. A message is written to the console window in either case.
Another way to use a central NAME SERVER is to edit '$ARBHOME/lib/arb_tcp.dat' and to specify a central server for ARB_NAME_SERVER. This completely avoids any inconsistencies.
