Sounds a lot like what I'm doing, except that I just do name lookups on fields on the fly since I'm looking at BLOB's and sticking to the database way of doing things. The BLOB is just a packet that was stuffed into the database, so in that sense BLOB = packet.

I'm not sure if it's better to translate the entire packet when you receive it or not, but for a server it probably is. I hope it works out...it could definitely solve some problems in the long run, though packets definitely not only evolve over time but sometimes are replaced by radically different ones. At that point, though, I could see a new server version spawning...

yea, we have plan for/can support a more dynamic strategy for translation, such that we can load the field placement from an XML file or whatever, we decided that it was not wise to do this by default for performance reasons, but it could be quite useful for testing.
