I'm not sure how you see this split based on the text above. My personal take is that if you want two names be "treated the same" by an application, you can do one of three things: 1) Make one name refer to the other, transforming the problem of "treating the same" into "pointing to the canonical name". 2) Provide for all the names equally, so that the same resources are available at each name (this means not just things like name-to-address mappings but also certificates with the names used on them etc.). This is expensive and difficult, but there may be some methods to reduce the pain (subjectAltName, provisioning-based mirroring of resources, new protocol methods). I think a lot of the discussion so far has been of the "are there useful DNS mechanisms that could reduce this pain"? 3) Create a method that allows applications to know which names should be treated as equivalent. The difficulty here is primarily that any names which are not within the same administrative boundary cannot be treated as equivalent without the records related to both/N administrative boundaries confirming the equivalence. So the application would have to understand how to determine the administrative boundaries, check for the confirmation of equivalence, and then correctly apply whatever behaviors result from the two names being the same. This is far from trivial, as the applications/protocols may have no defined behavior for "treat these as the same". Knowing they are to be treated as equivalent doesn't help a lot for applications with no sense of what behavior should result. > is not going to work because that is simply not how the applications > see the world. > ><snip> > > If we decide we can change the application client, this whole problem > becomes pretty straightforward.

At this point, we are all mostly talking about the Unicode character set and how to map labels derived from sequences of Unicode characters. regards, Ted Hardie
