I don't object to that either. I do question the requirement apart from Dynamic DNS. Keith's comment earlier today indicated that he didn't like the mechanisms that exist for doing so, and specifically didn't want to have to send a datagram to another system. I'll happily suggest an alternative mechanism, but without asking the routing system, there is an issue. So anything I suggest will involve sending a datagram, and that datagram will be sent to one of: 1) a DNS server that already knows the answer 2) a DMZ that can generate the answer 3) an application beyond a DMZ that can generate the answer _______________________________________________ nat66 mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/nat66
