I was assuming that the DNS server performs the same process as any other host when sent a packet from a host it has not recently communicated with. If DNS servers or any other hosts do not behave like this - and you suggest that their behavior would be different - then this needs to be clearly specified in the IDs. I just read them and I don't recall any statements to this effect. I think we need to be careful about assumptions when major revisions to the Internet protocols are being discussed. Just because the ILNP IDs mention DNS doesn't mean that these exchanges would be the same as today's DNS exchanges. - Robin _______________________________________________ rrg mailing list [email protected] http://www.irtf.org/mailman/listinfo/rrg
