So, when they disagree (and they frequently >will), which is wrong? Absolutely true. But remember that I suggest DNS.2 to be first just an "under development system". So it would first act only as an alarm. There will be first discrepancies because of bugs. They will help debugging faster since DNS.1 would act as reference. Then the discrepancies will be reduced and may be DNS.1 flaws also reduced. Ahain this would permit to progressively have DNS.2 switching from an alarm, to a back-up, to a replacement. We all agree that sometimes the DNS will have to support Unicode and new services. I think the earlier we start working and testing, the smoother will be the transition (may take 10 years). The difference in such an approach with IPv6 would be that there would be no need for "tunels". It would start with very limited services plus test, and progressively more and more services, without killing DNS.1. Ideal would be that DNS.2 stays compatible with DNS.1 permitting an enhancement and not a transition. To know if it is possible we need to consider the suggestions. At this stage I am just suggesting a "suggestions collection", and a collective analysis of what we may get. jfc >-- >Brad Knowles, <brad.knowles@skynet.be> > >"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary >safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." > -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania. > >GCS/IT d+(-) s:+(++)>: a C++(+++)$ UMBSHI++++$ P+>++ L+ !E-(---) W+++(--) N+ >!w--- O- M++ V PS++(+++) PE- Y+(++) PGP>+++ t+(+++) 5++(+++) X++(+++) R+(+++) >tv+(+++) b+(++++) DI+(++++) D+(++) G+(++++) e++>++++ h--- r---(+++)* z(+++) > > > > > >--- >Incoming mail is certified Virus Free. >Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). >Version: 6.0.454 / Virus Database: 253 - Release Date: 10/02/03 #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # To unsubscribe, send a message to <dnsop-request@cafax.se>.
