May I introduce a third option? mDNS for the local net, DNS to glue the

I think that's what the mdns guys are talking about doing. I think it's a bad
idea. It doesn't solve the multihoming problem; it's hard to figure out what
problem it _does_ solve that can't be solved better using existing technology.
Anything that keeps with the absurdity of "refrigerator.local" being
ambiguous because I'm halfway between mine and my neighbor's
house connecting back and forth on our wifi's is a bad situation. We
should stop the care and feeding that bad solution right now.
