[omniNotify] Mapping Filters and Persistence

Hi,

I am currently investigating Notification Services and have a few questions
about omniNotify.

1) I realise that persistence (EventReliability or ConnectionReliability) is
not supported currently. Is there any work being done in this area at the
moment? Do you have any idea how much effort would be involved in
implementing this?

2) Are mapping filters supported?

My question about mapping filters arises from our need to federate
Notificatio Services. The main problem we foresee is Event 'feedback' where
you have a Notification Service both supplying and consuming events from
another Nofitication service. One option would be to use a 'hop count', or
'supplied from' field in the filterable data that can be used to prevent
'feedback'. I think this may be achievable using mapping filters but I am
not entirely sure. Does anyone have any suggested solutions to the problem -
or point me in the direction of some info that could help.
