I sorry for the late comment but it has taken me a while to be able to put my finger on what I feel is wrong with the document (and the discussion in the working group) If a node has multiple interfaces and the interfaces have different resolution contexts then the basic question is "How can the services on the node tell what resolution context an application wants to use ?" Right now the "server-selection" document The fundamental problem we have is that OS's have a built in assumptions that a) there is only one resolution context i.e. only single /etc/resolv.conf b) There is no way to label a process that it wants to be a part of certain resolution context or tell the resolution which context to use. c) Results of resolution do not indicate which context was used.
