As far as I understand different opinions, some do think that DNS autoconfiguration is not enough and other information are also in concern (NTP, SMTP server addresses, search path list, ...). There I admit that we need a mechanism that can at least integrate DNS discovery needs but also evolute to support other "information" discovery. There I don't think that is a work for dnsop.
Some do think DNS resolver address is enough. I agree with that, when one trust its local network and/or when one just need simple Ip connectivity (see Pekka Savola example), DNS resolver addresses is the only "information" to add to stateless address autoconfiguration. There I have the feeling that DHCP-lite is still to complicated, and that well-known addresses are perhaps not appropriate cause it may involve routing policies not in the scope of local network policies. my 0.02 % Luc > -----Message d'origine----- > De : Brad Knowles [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Envoye : jeudi 2 octobre 2003 11:03 > A : Pekka Savola > Cc : Doug Barton; Bob Hinden; John Schnizlein; Soohong Daniel Park; > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Objet : Re: How IPv6 host gets DNS address > > > At 8:03 AM +0300 2003/10/02, Pekka Savola wrote: > > > Why do you need a search list?
