DNS sucks for that. it's too slow, too likely to be out > of sync. DNS names are the wrong kinds of names for this. Pardon me, but my bogometer just pinned. You keep bitching about the DNS, and a lot of your complaints have a point, but this one is too much. The whole effing point of the DNS is to translate from 'service-names' (to coin a term) to addresses. If the DNS can't do that, what the hell is the point of it? > we can build indirection into the routing infrastructure. Can I get you to be a little more precise in terminology here? Are you talking about putting indirection into the "routing" (i.e. path-finding, including databases and algorithms), or into the "forwarding"? >From your later message it seems you visualize more the latter? And you do not seem to be visualizing doing this mapping at every hop? In other words, architecturally speaking, you're proposing jacking up the current 'internetwork' layer and putting a new, second, 'internetwork' layer underneath it? In other words, you'd be creating a new name-space *below* the current 'addresses', which would become mostly just identifiers? Shortly after being emitted, packets would be wrapped up in a lower-layer, but still internetwork-wide header, which contained the 'locator' of their destination? This is not an unreasonable approach. (Not too surprising that I approve, since I proposed the same basic mechanism myself, several decades ago, as a way of introducing a new addressing/routing architecture!) Now, if only we could actually design that layer, as opposed to creating it incrementally by various small accretions/kludges... > identifer to locator mappings that is distributed via BGP. BGP has a hard enough time as it is. You complain about people wanting to dump the kitchen sink of functionality into DNS, because it's there, but you're happy to commit the same sin yourself, elsewhere...
