thanks, Iljitsch, for bringing this into dnsop. I think that the problem
of determinism in following the search path is very well worth investigating.
To some extent it's related to RFC 1535 and we've at least had this under
"A.O.B." in one of the recent meetings, if I remember correctly.
No, it's a DNS issue, so it should go to dnsop. dnsop people: see
discussion between Mark, Keith and me that started under the subject
"renumbering" on the ietf discussion list.
The semantics of search paths in mixed or dual stack environments need to
be clear, independent of a particular API, at least as long as the search
path isn't set API specific. Seems that we should at least have a look into
this, see what implementations do and what operational and maybe security
consequences are.
Is there any consensus for deprecating searchlists entirely? That would
simplify the issue.
