[ietf-provreg] EPP over UDP for Domain Availability Checking?

["Hollenbeck, Scott" <shollenbeck@verisign.com>]

I just spent a few minutes writing client and server software in perl to
send and receive EPP <check> commands and responses.  It's very doable.
Does anyone think that they might find it useful to have a documented way to
use EPP over UDP for domain availability checking?

I'm thinking that registries might find it useful to provide a UDP service
for high-volume, no-session-required domain checking.  People that want only
availability information might find a UDP-based client more useful than
whois.
