The "rendezvous[*]" service used by BTMM is the Domain Name System. There isn't anything particularly magical about BTMM that prevents dyndns.org or anyone else from implementing their own Wide-area Bonjour domain using DNS servers outside of Apple's control. Indeed, some folks do exactly that with their home networks using their own DNS servers. Check out <http://www.dns-sd.org/ClientSetup.html> for more details. Also, I too think this discussion is off topic for HOMENET. -- james woodyatt <[email protected]> member of technical staff, core os networking [*] c.f. <http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/05/02/18/apple_to_rename_rendezvous_technology_bonjour.html> _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
