I concur with the first conclusion. But the problem is not limited to name-to-address lookup - it applies to any means of obtaining addresses. Even if you could fix DNS to work in the presence of scoped addresses it wouldn't solve the problems with those other means of obtaining addresses. (while I'd probably agree that 99% of apps do use name-to-address lookup to obtain addresses, that doesn't mean that even those apps use it as their only means of obtaining addressess) Keith -------------------------------------------------------------------- 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] --------------------------------------------------------------------
