Let's go further. Let's say that it must be DNS-Based Service Discovery
[I-D.cheshire-dnsext-dns-sd], which has been in the RFC Editor Queue for 199
days at this point, so one imagines that it stands a decent chance of being a
published RFC by the time HOMENET finishes its first round of major work.
Well, DNS-Based Service Discovery addresses just one kind of requirement:
listing entities that provide a certain kind of service; perhaps generalizable
to resolution based on a characteristic or set of characteristics that might
return more than one response to the resolution request. At some point, there
needs to be a mechanism for resolving an identity to a single IP address.
Why? if the DNS gives multiple answers, they're intended to be
equivalent for that service.
