Hold your horses. All I want here is to step back and re-evaluate whether DNS is still the appropriate baseline protocol on top of which you want to build your application. We're piling extension upon extension here. At some point, the foundations will crack and we can't patch over the limitations (or better, assumptions) of the initial design any longer. I'm not claiming (nor ruling out) we're there yet. I did not suggest alternative protocol. We just need to think this through. /ol -- // Otmar Lendl <[email protected]>, T: +43 1 5056416 - 33, F: - 933 // nic.at Internet Verwaltungs- und Betriebsgesellschaft m.b.H // http://www.nic.at/ LG Salzburg, FN 172568b, Sitz: Salzburg
