A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Role of the Domain Name System
Author(s) : J. Klensin
Filename : draft-klensin-dns-role-04.txt
Pages : 22
Date : 2002-10-10
The original function and purpose of the DNS is reviewed and
contrasted with some of the purposes for which it has recently been
applied and some of the newer demands being placed upon it or
suggested for it. A framework for an alternative to placing these
additional stresses on the DNS is then outlined. This document and
that framework are not a proposed solution, only a strong suggestion
that the time has come to begin thinking more broadly about the
problems we are encountering and possible approaches to solving them.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
