Well, going forward, I'm hoping we'll remove the need for dialback at all. I'd like to hope it remains purely as a stub protocol for connection reuse, and that db:verify simply disappears in a puff of certificate equality checking. (Which it could do, I think).
Get a large list of servers and check how often this would work in practice. I wonder if the old ratio of 1/10 from 2007 is still valid. If you want to remove dialback, maybe we should check if it can be replaced by a dns lookup. Historically I that dialback is a result of jabberd not binding to the proper ip address: http://mail.jabber.org/pipermail/xmppwg/2002-October/000155.html
Two questions: 1) Do any server implementations actually do piggybacking anymore?
I have a recent log of gmail.com piggybacking googlemail.com. Philipp
