Subject:
narrow applicability of DNS server conf
Are you all aware that the applicability of, so called "stateless", DNS server configuration is extremely narrow? The assumption is that a client host is not registered to DNS but want to use DNS to access its peer. However, the peer, having DNS service, often expect its peer (the original host) registered to DNS and, otherwise, terminate comunication. With more DoS, more hosts will deploy such policy. So, most, if not all, hosts want to be registered to DNS, which means certain amount of configuration, where full DHCP will be used for autoconfiguration.
