What about "indifferent"? Suppose that we pre-populate the ip6.arpa tree with synthetic name server records, so that the name server for a given ULA prefix <ula-48>::/48 (ULA-C or not) always resolves to <ula-48>::1 (or any other suitably chosen anycast host identifier). Then DNS look-up will always point to the closest instantiation of that anycast address, or to nothing at all if the prefix is not reachable. Voila, DNS look-up without any central registration... -- Christian Huitema -------------------------------------------------------------------- IETF IPv6 working group mailing list [email protected] Administrative Requests: https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ipv6 --------------------------------------------------------------------
