Folks, VoIP protocols in MGCP and SIP have been supporting IP address and FQDN for a long time. In VoIP deployment with FQDN use, the deployment always keeps a local name resolver. So why not look carefully at the use cases operators are presenting to advocate use of both FQDN and IP address and then go from there. I appreciate the feedback on DHCPv6 design style to not use two entities to represent the same primitive but if DHCPv6 is such a stick in the mud, we could go with some other control mechanism. After all several protocols use FQDN and IP address interchangeably and the deployments are working fine.

We would like to see this option back to the draft and that *** both *** the AFTR IP address and the name options are defined. FWIW, one of the deployment use cases we are considering is the distribution of the DS-Lite serviced customers among several (geo distributed) AFTRs by combining the search domain name dhcpv6 option (Code 24) and a generic FQDN conveyed in the AFTR name option. This would allow for a more controlled load distribution among deployed AFTRs.
