I was expecting this feedback, and am entirely prepared to redraft using an EDNS option if (when?) that turns out to be the group consensus, but I decided to ask for what I want first and get shot down rather than assume in advance that there was no chance. :) At the going rate of 1 EDNS bit allocated per 15 years of EDNS existence, we have enough to last until the year 2239, at which time an EDNS version bump could allocate more of them. So I concur with "rare", but not necessarily with "precious". However, there is no technical reason a flag bit is necessary. I just think it's more elegant. -- Evan Hunt -- e...@isc.org Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
