Not so much pushing required, at least of Akamai. You have a ready-made ally in me, if only clients actually made good use of it. The clients are the real obstacle. Looking at a random high-traffic DNS server on our network, I see practically no use at all of _http._tcp SRV requests. Over 6 days of logs on this machine, they are just over 0.00007% of all requests. (Yes, that decimal point is right.) Exactly 90% of them are for the same hostname, with a name that implies to me that one application, not a web browser, is responsible for all of them. On another server that provides a separate set of zones, HTTP SRV requests are a mere 0.000001% of all requests, for only 3 distinct names among tens of thousands web server names. I appreciate what Mark is proposing, but personally I'd sooner see us using SRV than yet another new alias type if only it would get traction. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
