Another one, much more important in my opinion, is to provide *stable* identifiers, specially when IP addresses are PI-addresses, which can change quite often. In the future, if we get a real separation of identifier and locator, the DNS will be used only to get meaningful identifiers. But, in the mean time, the great thing about the DNS is that is shields us partially from IP address changes. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
