I think we could even do that within the ALTO protocol, see http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-kiesel-alto-alto4alto-00.txt but I also believe that in a multi-domain scenario this inter-ALTO-server mesh structure would be much more cumbersome than relying on DNS, and a DNS resolver stub is anyway included in virtually every networked device. just my 2 cents S. _______________________________________________ alto mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/alto
