Discuss - Source Address
Lars:
draft-ietf-syslog-protocol-21, Section 5., paragraph 2:
If a syslog application is running on a machine
that has both statically and dynamically assigned addresses, then
that value SHOULD be from the statically assigned addresses. As an
alternative, the syslog application MAY use the IP address of the
interface that is used to send the message.
DISCUSS: So if a machine has only a dynamic address, it should instead
use 127.0.0.1 in syslog messages, because that's statically assigned?
That doesn't seem to make sense. Also, in practice, it will be
difficult for the syslog sender to determine which addresses are
statically or dynamically assigned (think MobileIP or even HIP).
Proposed Resolution:
The author and the chairs recommend removing this paragraph. Any
objection this this?
