The question is: does the set of names you can resolve depend upon the connectivity that you have? (the "reachability") I think that this is a form of security through obscurity, and I'd rather that the various carriers who want to impose walled gardens on their video-over-3G-to-smartphone systems (causing changes up to the application layers) would do something different.
As a security property was mainly what I was getting at. We're not thinking that .local is bringing us anything on the security front wrt reachability (privacy being a different issue). So it seems we all hopefully agree. Now what to with about the privacy issue... bletch. .local[site] has similar considerations along those lines it seems to me, though the mechanisms are different confusing the issue even more. Mike
I overheard a snippit of conversation last week from Lorenzo about what Android will be doing to "support" walled garden DNS. I can't repeat it, because I didn't hear the answer...
