	Title		: NAPSTR:  A constrained use of NAPTR and SRV RRs for 
                          domain-based service location

This memo defines a use of NAPTR records [3] to provide one more
layer of redirection for service lookup than is feasible with SRV
records.  Some will view this as a dangerous use of DNS.  It is
proposed because real-life use is demonstrating a need for something
slightly more substantial than SRV, and alternatively SRV usage may
become twisted out of its intended shape.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
