I agree entirely. The following would be reasonable: Part of the solution may be to interject a layer between the application and the DNS, either in addition to or instead of making changes to DNS protocols. but AFAICS, there is no concensus for the statement as currently written. It is also ambiguous, since it depends on whether resolvers are considered to be "within the DNS itself". The choice of whether part of the resolver functionality is in-process or implemented by the OS, say, is an implementation detail, not a fundamental part of *any* of the proposals. - -- David Hopwood <david.hopwood@zetnet.co.uk> Home page & PGP public key: http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/hopwood/ RSA 2048-bit; fingerprint 71 8E A6 23 0E D3 4C E5 0F 69 8C D4 FA 66 15 01 Nothing in this message is intended to be legally binding.
