While I agree that minimising delays and RTTs is always desirable, your argument is a bit of a non-sequitur. There's usually a delay of 10-15 seconds after a mobile phone is powered on or roams from its home provider before it has finished the authentication dance and joined some mobile operator's network. Given that context, an extra RTT to find a DNS server is no big deal in the overall scheme of things. In fact I suspect that the name server location overhead could readily be assimilated into the "authenticate this handset" overhead. Hey, perhaps getting a valid DNS server address could *be* that handset authentication. #---------------------------------------------------------------------- # To unsubscribe, send a message to <dnsop-request@cafax.se>.
