(Famous last words.) > fe80::whatever routername.routers.mydomain.com You cannot do that -- link-local addresses are "scoped", they're only valid on a given link. And the sockets API enforces that -- you cannot address a link-local address without specifying an interface number. (Now you might argue that's a flaw in the spec, and that link-local addresses should be globally unique, but there are good reasons for that -- you really want link-local addresses to exist as soon as the interface is upped, even on hosts with no local storage and no MAC addresses. For the anecdote, IPv6 originally defined a number of similar "scoped" addresses -- but all except the link-local addresses have been replaced by ULA.) > Would make interpreting babelweb data in particular easier. Use RFC 4620? It's a much saner protocol than reverse DNS. -- Juliusz _______________________________________________ Babel-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/babel-users
