Discovery of the correct Location Information Server (LIS) in the
local access network is necessary for Devices that wish to acquire
location information from the network. A method is described for the
discovery of a LIS in the access network serving a Device. Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) options for IP versions 4 and 6
are defined that specify a domain name. This domain name is then
used as input to a URI-enabled NAPTR (U-NAPTR) resolution process.
