Hello all,
A few weeks ago I send the following proposal to the lir-wg mailing list for comments. Since no comments were received, we are assuming that nobody has objections to change the policy. We have therefore decided to implement it starting immediately.
Kind regards,

I agree mostly on the proposal. But please bear in mind that in most european places, local connection are not free. So another use of static IP is the setup of MX records on dialup connection that are down most of the time.
I understand also your concern to push http 1.1, but you _can't_ sell the virtual web hosting without a fixed IP. The percentage of non http 1.1 compliant browser is just too high for a business customer to accept that is vanity name will not be seen by those.
I disagree we have created a whole product using http1.1 and get no complaints about not being able to reach the site. It might encourage people to upgrade to a newer version browser and so speed up the use of http1.1.
I agree, we have been using IP-less virtual hosting with HTTP 1.1 for over a year and not received a single complaint. It is more a choice of webserver technology I would say. -- Janne ------------- ELCOM ------------- Network Operations Center --------- Jan-Erik Eriksson mailto: jee@alcom.aland.fi ELCOM phone: +358 18 23500 PB 233, Torggatan 10 fax: +358 18 14643 FIN-22100 Mariehamn URL: http://www.alcom.aland.fi
