Having different resolvers for different parts of the namespace is a bad idea [*] so furthermore that resolver must also be capable of handling queries received for the global namespace (whether by forwarding to an off-net resolver, or performing full iterative resolution itself). Ray [ Current host stacks don't have support for saying "if the suffix is ".TBD", go here, otherwise go there. If you have one resolver for ".TDB" and another for everything else and then just send all queries to both, you still need host changes to cope with how you'll get a valid answer from one but not the other ] _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
