Is an external DHT service really different from a traditional location
service (e.g. a SIP registrar or a dynamic DNS service)?  I can
understand it only as a temporary solution; if the location service
wasn't distributed across SIP UAs, would this work have any real value?

Perhaps you mean:

The list in sec. 8 is arguable IMHO, but now it's not time for
discussing how to transport bits.


BTW: I've missed some messages and have had to look for them on the
archive; does anyone have encountered the same problem?
