A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the IPNG Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Analysis of DNS Server Discovery Mechanisms for IPv6
	Author(s)	: D. Thaler 
	Filename	: draft-ietf-ipngwg-dns-discovery-analysis-00.txt
	Pages		: 42
	Date		: 17-Jul-01
	
There are any number of ways that IPv6 hosts can discover
information required to enable name resolution, in the absence of
a DHCP server.  This document discusses the issues and provides a
taxonomy of possible solutions, and evaluates them against various
design criteria.  Finally, it provides recommendations as input to
the standards process.

Send a message to:

In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-ipngwg-dns-discovery-analysis-00.txt".
	
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.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
