Re: [dhcwg] Review of Service-Discovery-Type options in DHCP

Hi all,
	Around a year back, I had sent a mail to this mailing list citing 
that other working groups (like Stateless Autoconfiguration, DNS etc.)
are trying to hijack DHCP working group's agenda. Now, I am seeing that fear
becoming realty.
	I just want to raise one point against DNS implementing server location.
DNS name resolution is hitting perfomance bottleneck due to large size of 
database. Sometimes name resolution takes lot of time in larger administrative
domain. Customers are craving for better performance. I am sure the load on
DNS server will increase in future when number of computing nodes increase.
DNS guys are looking for ways to improve performance. Several schemes like
database cache, load-balancing have been used in DNS.
	My point is why to increase load to already overloaded DNS server
with extra features (which are already available in DHCP)? 

Cheers,
Jitesh
