Just a question (quick).

You probably saw the relatively new CAA record for DNS. This (great) record 
provides a means to get the address of a CA for a given DNS domain.

Firstly, it is unclear to me why the old SRV records are not used as they 
essentially do the same. You may think of creating an SRV record for 
_pkica.<domain> that would provide a CA's IP address.

Then my question is : why is this SRV not used on linux boxes ? This would 
provide a means to retrieve automatically a certificate/public key for a given 
user and avoid setting configs (i.e. ldap.conf) on the client side. In other 
tertms, don't we need a CAA equivalent for Directories ?
