Well, "the DNS" doesn't do routes, but I assume you meant the DNS server. Yes, there are issues: a) DNS server now has to implement one or more routing protocols, which is a lot more code than, say, a stub DHCP server. b) What's the security model by which the router decides whether to accept routing updates from the DNS server? > 2.

These are both polling approaches, right? Exactly the same issues Bob suggested apply to the co-resident DHCP approach apply here: how tightly coupled does the thing you're polling have to be to the service you're providing in order for the poll to tell you whether the service itself is available? -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
