I've grown weary of typing these reasons in over and over (having long since lost count of the number of times I've done so - here, in nsrg, and elsewhere) - so I've attempted to summarize them on a web page. I expect to update this page in the future to include further explanation, clarification, things I've forgotten, or relevant things that others bring to my attention. http://www.cs.utk.edu/~moore/opinions/ipv6/dns-as-endpoint-id.html Keith -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
