Why? It seems an unnatural layer violation. The IP addressses of a DNS name are NOT provided by its HTTPS or SVCB records. IP address lookups make sense only *after* a higher layer application API that understands whether or not and which of either SVCB or HTTPS records may be relevant, processes those records and determines which target IP addresses and ports it wants to connect to, and over what transports. > To get an idea whether this makes sense given the getaddrinfo API > constraints, I need to know more about actual deployment. I don't see how it can possibly make sense. Where is the rationale for this "RFC"? -- Viktor. 🇺🇦 Слава Україні! _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations
