i would hope that "big Brother" would quit trying to be helpful. If I ask for AAAA, regardless of what transport you receive the query on, please give me what I ask for. With forwarders, IMRs, and proxies josteling for position between the stub and the authoritative server, its presumptious and arrogant to presume that the transport the query was received on is the same as the stub has. DNS data has zero to do with the transport(s) queries are received and responded to. Lets not conflate the two. --bill _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
