Do note that many advices in "Protecting Browsers from DNS Rebinding
Attacks" (http://crypto.stanford.edu/dns/dns-rebinding.pdf) belong in
our perimeter (some remind me of
draft-ietf-dnsop-reverse-mapping-considerations, some ask for a
violation of the DNS protocol). Advices?

Thanks for the interesting link. This certainly shows that "use hostnames everywhere" idiom that the IETF has been repeating doesn't quite work as intended in the real life :-)

I wonder if the authors and vendors have considered if there are conseuqences for IPv4/IPv6 dual-stack operation where a standard practice is to provide multiple IP addresses under a single name.
