My opinion was very related to DNS. IMHO DNS is different from FPT, HTTP and SMTP because HTTP, FTP, SMTP clients (not protocol) will rely on DNS for hostname resolution and not viceversa.
I don't really think that make any difference. A protocol is a protocol, whatever it depends on. The fact that you need a DNS resolution when sending an Http request does not make DNS a 'different' protocol. Anyway, this is just a question of perception ...
If a developer builds its own protocol to be used on internet, well, it is very likely to need DNS somewhere. That's why I think that DNS belongs to MINA TLP.
I don't see any connection between the fact that DNS is used by any other services and the idea that DNS protocol should belongs to MINA TLP... I don't want to start a never ending discussion on this, so consider that the fact we don't agree does not mean I'm right :) -- Regards, Cordialement, Emmanuel Lécharny www.iktek.com
