NOTE WELL: this e-mail is not in accordance with the all requirements of section 10 of RFC2026 ... in particular, I haven't given due credit to those who taught me to read and write (frankly, I don't remember who they were), and vast numbers of other people, all of whom contributed to my getting to where I am today... However, I make no copyright claims to it, use it how you will. I also have no patents, pending or issued, on any of the technology (or ever ideas) discussed herein. "IETF" might be a trade mark, so might "RFC", but they don't belong to me. ------------------------------------------------------ In section seven, you call out for the desire to have native IPv6 transport aware DNS servers for the inverse mapping of the IPv6 address tree. While I can't speak to the IP6.ARPA proposal, the IP6.INT domain has had native IPv6 servers for nearly a year and the INT domain has had a native IPv6 server for 6 months. An informal sub-group of the RSSAC has had working, test root servers, that are native IPv6 aware for a little over a year. So there is a community with some emperical experience with these issues. -- --bill
