[MLB-WIRELESS] Melbwirelses DNS and Domain Names

[Ryan Abbenhuys]

Well sounds like you guys have some decent ideas.  I'll stand back and toy
around with what I've got until some people who know what they're doing
work out the best way to set this up.
One thing I don't like is the idea that someone has to have an internet
connection before they can resolve anything.

You guys keep going with this one but I might butt out now seeings it's
starting to go over my head, might we worth starting a new Working Group
for DNS unless we mix it in with WGrouting.

Would people agree that this is possibly the second most important thing
after IP addressing and routing?
If so I think it should be given some priority.

Some of the clusters are growing to points where they'll want to start
looking into DNS.
