They will have to configure the tokenized IIDs, anyway. - again, I think the meat is in the renumbering case. >> I'd set the DNS aside -- at least this I-D doesn't mention any mechanism >> to notify the DNS of the updated *prefix* (and you probably wouldn't >> want that, anyway). > > It's a separate problem, but yes, I would want it automated (and > secure, of course). So far there's no support for that in the DNS, is it?
