Pip is an internet protocol intended as the replacement for IP version 4.  
Pip is a general purpose internet protocol, designed to handle all 
forseeable internet protocol requirements.  This specification describes 
the use of DNS to support Pip.  Because Pip carries IDs and addresses 
separately, and because Pip Addresses are variable length, DNS must be 
modified to support Pip. Also, Pip addresses are more likely to change than
IP addresses.  To enable DNS to still cache aggressively in the presence of
address changes, we propose adding functionality to DNS to allow resolvers 
to ask for later versions of information when previously returned 
information is found to be out-of-date.  In addition to these necessary 
modifications, we have chosen to add new information to DNS to support 
transition and to support Pip features, such as policy routing, mobile 
hosts and  routing through Public Data Networks. Later multicast support 
will be added as well.
