I was speaking for myself and I believe the issue is in flux; please don't take it as a "conclusion". :) > IMHO, we shouldn't promote bad solutions, and .local is a bad solution. IMHO .<hexidecimal-gibberish> is also a bad solution. It's, at least potentially, a worse one: you buy a new router, and suddenly your devices all have new names and your bookmarks don't work. To make them work again, you have to remember the hexidecimal-gibberish that was assigned by your previous router and configure it to use the same one. Ugly. I'm not really happy with either of these choices, but I'm less unhappy with .sitelocal. > Whether we come up with some way to leverage a ULA to present things > sensibly in some UI is another question, but if we are trying to come up > with a solution for geeks, why not come up with a _real_ solution, > instead of the .local hack? I'd love to hear the plan. -- Evan Hunt -- [email protected] Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
