I think an BCP document or implementation guide is necessary. There are at least three points, I think. +-----------------------+-------+------------------+---------------------- | function ||mDNS | DHCP | +-----------------------+-------+------------------+---------------------- | resolving: || mDNS | normal DNS query via DNS proxy | holding zones: || mDNS | authoritative DNS server +-----------------------++------+------------------+--------------------- | declaring client name || mDNS | DHCP client name | DNS update (directly) +-----------------------++------+------------------+---------------------- |implementation || mDNS |dnsmasq or DHCPD+BIND | new +------------------------------------------------------------------------- mDNS requires special code to resolve the domain name. (Isn't it?) dnsmasq has an authoritative server function in it. -- Kazunori Fujiwara, JPRS _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
