yep - I'm special :). But the roots are more special. I want multihoming, until then v6 will NOT go mainstream. However, the roots really are a special case - There's no reason (at least none I can think of) why all the root's in the world couldn't be hosted out of a single /48, or rather a /48 for each region - which would avoid my nightmare of a single entity being able to control major internet resources.
Which single entity? And what would a single /48 give you? The above makes no sense to me. I think you need to add more text.
Is everybody busy waiting for the IETF v6-multihoming group to come to a conclusion?
In that case you won't have to wait much longer as this is going to happen within a few weeks. However, the multi6 mechanisms (that still have to be developed) aren't very suitable for multihoming DNS service.
Be interesting to see what they come back with. How can multihoming be suitable to one kind of service and not another - I'll wait 'til they publish they're docs, you can explain then Iljitsch :) (unless we're talking locators again).
Documents are published. Protocol work will be done in new WG. Architecture published. Multi6 is closing in two weeks. Yes, there will be identifiers and locators. - - kurtis - -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 8.1 iQA/AwUBQh9YGaarNKXTPFCVEQJzPgCg9oSbuFpfBsoxA4h/gWsNbN1vSVwAnR7j VipmsHiLNT0xpitAnghf7X0K =Sjhv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
