I strongly disagree with the use of NAPTR. It has a ridiculous amount of power and mechanism. SRV is well supported in servers, NAPTR is not. The process of standards making is to eliminate unnecessary flexibility. In this case the configuration of the caldav Web host is not relevant to the

[Sorry, got Cullens' out of thread, did not realize there was more debate since, replying to a number of different posters here] I really do not like the idea of a new RR unless it can be shown that SRV is not sufficient. There are still issues deploying new RRs. Windows DNS does not provide an

Has anyone talked to anyone in the applications world about this? The use of a new DNS Resource Record creates far more problems than any of these proposed discovery mechanisms offer. No matter how much the DNSEXT people want to believe that adding DNS records is not an issue, the fact is that it

Basically, yeah, as long as you have DNSSEC. In fact, if you've got DNSSEC, you don't really even need the application-specific bit at the end. The goal of the XMPP DNA work (and other analogous things) is to work around not having DNSSEC in the mean time. In that solution, the parallel
