As a B4 implementor, I reject the onerus requirement imposed to contain a DNS recursive stub resolver in B4 equipment, and to complicate the configuration of the B4 software to be conditional on the success (through retries) of its resolution. I will simply not use the IETF standard option in this case, and continue to configure our B4 elements using a VSIO option. The address option must be defined. If a name option must also be defined, then we must define the strict normative requirements to permit software to navigate the confusion that having both impose. -- David W.
