I think that Ralph already addressed the main point, I doubt that I can improve much on his comments, and I implore you to read what he wrote very carefully. However, since you did ask a direct question, I'll try to answer it. > For this requirement, Server-less is defined to mean the DNS > information is learned with out any dependence on resources other > than are needed (i.e., links, interfaces, routers, and DNS server) > to communicate with the DNS server. Comments: The term "DNS server" is not well defined at the level of detail that this problem statement requires. Is an entity that implements both the DNS server role and portions of the DHCP server role a "DNS server" within the meaning of this definition? The term "router" is not well defined at the level of detail that this problem statement requires. Eg, would DHCP relay agents co-resident with routers be parts of the routers within the meaning of this definition? In all seriousness: I can't tell you whether I agree with your statement of the problem until I know what what the words mean. -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
