We're not talking about mobile IP here—we''re talking about naming in the homenet. The technology has existed for over a decade to do what you describe with DHCP and DDNS in IPv4, but AFAIK nobody uses it, for two reasons: one, I don't think it actually serves a real need, and two, it requires geek skills to set up, which most people don't have. But the second point is really a footnote to the first. There's a draft in the DHC working group for setting up the reverse zone... _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
