Probably right, but sadly similar thing happens already with IPv4 10-nets. The local ISP's provide only 10/8 addressess (with NAT), and their DNS returns 10-addresses. Now if your host is connected simultaneously to two ISP's (for example first to local ISP to get access, and then virtually through a VPN tunnel to remote intranet, which also SADLY happens to use 10-addresses and own DNS servers). In this case you have to do similar "scope-id" things with IPv4 addresses, route queries to different DNS servers depending whether application is using ISP's addresses or intranet addresses (yes, host implementation GETS difficult). -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
