There may be another reason to do this as well, if someone can clarify for me what I picked up in a casual conversation at IETF. Is it the case that EDNS0 also makes life easier for IPv6 nodes by allowing resolvers to issue a single query to a DNS server that independently asks for both A6 (or AAAA) and A records and get a single response back with both answers? Right now, I believe the only way to do this is to issue separate queries and coalesce the results yourself. (My apologies for not knowing all that much about DNS) Thanks, --Brian -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPng Working Group Mailing List IPng Home Page: http://playground.sun.com/ipng FTP archive: ftp://playground.sun.com/pub/ipng Direct all administrative requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------
