We should be spending our cycles on those > problems... Wrong problem. The problem to be solved (if not yet solved) is how do we arrange for population of PTR records by roaming hosts using address autoconfiguration and DHCP, rather than DHCP-lite, is, it seems to me, the only way to go. > I strongly believe, based on > implementation experience, that the implementation complexity of DHCPv6 > for host configuration is *not* prohibitive. Compared to the implementation complexity of ND, yes. The easiest, simplest and fastest way to go is to remove ND, a full set of useless features, entirely.
