IP6.INT mapping
All, In light of the draft-ietf-dnsop-inaddr-required-02.txt draft, I'm curious what work has been done on the operation aspects of administering an IPv6 network's IP6.INT mappings. The reason I ask is that: 1. IPv6 numbers are difficult to use (for humans), so names are nice. 2. Every home is going to get a /48, chock-full-O-devices. 3. Many of these devices are going to autoconfigure (which is as it should be). So... Do we expect every home user to receive a IP6.INT delegation? Or do we expect each ISP to be able to receive updates from home users (perhaps via dynamic DNS)? Or am I the only one that thinks this might be an issue? In my mind the big issue is exchanging secrets - I suspect this is always a problem in any autoconfiguring environment. Whether this is from the ISP to the home, or from the devices to the home DNS server, the problem seems similiar. Just point me to the appropriate list and/or docs if this is a solved problem! -- Shane
