In practice, hosts already should have a FQDN name, so there would be no change from the existing deployed Internet if one continued to rely on DNS. As I think I commented earlier, nearly all current users are entirely unable to distinguish "DNS fault" from "network down". I learned this in the late 1990s at a large multi-continent residential broadband ISP. I am told by ISP folks that it is even more true today than it was back then. One could imagine that some future Internet would remove the reliance upon DNS entirely. Perhaps that is what you were contemplating ? If so, please do explain in more detail. :-) Cheers, Ran -- to unsubscribe send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word 'unsubscribe' in a single line as the message text body. archive: <http://psg.com/lists/rrg/> & ftp://psg.com/pub/lists/rrg
