I agree wholeheartedly about the length of time developing a 
server-to-server protocol could take if we get bogged down trying to solve 
essentially unsolvable problems, but I think if we don't address the 
question, it will simply arise later to confound us.

Gosh, I *really* hope that we aren't going to try to go beyond
synchronizing binding information.   I'd really like to have the DHCP
Interserver Protocol (DIP :') working before the new millenium.
