Reality check: home networks are, if connected to the Internet, attached via a gatewaying device. The de vice of choice for a large number of networks is a $60 router from on of any number of vendors. These boxes provide DHCP, DNS forwarding and NAT. Perhaps some other environment would provide a better strawman? DHCP is pretty prevalent in home networks. #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # To unsubscribe, send a message to <dnsop-request@cafax.se>.
