Scott, I've been conducting some thought experiments with the imaginary DNS server you describe in
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Network_principles#Name_resolution and I've developed a couple of small questions which I'd like your advice on, e.g. a) When multiple links are present, does the DNS server synthesize an AAAA RR for every link? b) Presumably the DNS server should report itself as non-authoritative for everything except the local hostname(s)? c) Presumably the synthesized RRs should be non-authoritative except when they answer the local hostname(s)? d) How should the TTL of the synthesized records be set given that the records are link-dependent? (on a mobile device?) e) When, exactly, should our DNS server synthesize RRs? Some possible choices: "always", "when you can't get any other results", "when you didn't find NXDOMAIN", "configurable" ______ Thanks, Michael P.S. - People who are unfamiliar with the ideas and questions in this note who would like to contribute to the conversation should probably spend some time reading RFCs 1034, 1035, and 2460 and Scott's "Network Principles" document. _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
