Doesn't that dis-prove the claim that "A minimal DHCPv6-lite server co-located with a recursive name server [c]ould just respond with its own address"? (see <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> and its thread-context neighbors) So going this way means additional DNS-specific maintenance would be mandatory after all. -- Eric A.
