I agree with Rob's objections to this approach. Asking for a well known address for DNS begs questions like, why do we need to use IRDP or DHCP to tell a host its default router -- we can just designate the all-zeroes address in any given subnet for "default route service". And so on. This way lies madness, and we need a layer of indirection where policy can be localized. -- Paul Vixie #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # To unsubscribe, send a message to <dnsop-request@cafax.se>.
