Re: [Dots] WGLC on draft-ietf-dots-server-discovery-05

Hi Jon, 

OK, thanks. 

In order to further make things clear, I suggest to add this NEW text in the introduction of Section 5:

   The list of the IP addresses returned by DHCP servers is typically
   used to fed the DOTS server selection procedure detailed in
   Section 4.3 of [I-D.ietf-dots-signal-channel] or to provide DOTS
   agents with primary and backup IP addresses of their peer DOTS
   agents.

Would that be OK? 

I'm not sure the text need to hint any priority order set by the server (backup case), though. The reason is that list will be ordered by the client following HE. 

Cheers,
Med
