Re: [homenet] Updating DNS [was: How many people have installed the homenet code?]

[Ted Lemon <[e-mail]>]

The only problem with that is that in the homenet ideally we'd like to have
local names signed and validatable via DNSSEC, and that requires that the
local namespace be global in scope, even if the names published in that
namespace are not.
