[MLB-WIRELESS] DNS and Locfinder

[evilbunny]

Hello Tony,

TL> I'll probably just put all my wireless nodes under vkradio.com, because I
TL> own that namespace, so it's easy to manage.  The wireless info won't be on
TL> the public DNS servers, except for nodes reachable via IPv6 (which will live
TL> under ipv6.vkradio.com :) ), since these are potentially globally reachable.

My point was that DNS servers don't round robin if it can't find a
record on the DNS server, what people are thinking is everyone will
run a DNS server or a caching server when in fact a lot of people may
not, so they would be excluded from an internal DNS server, or the
external, and I'd like to see you try and tell joe bloggs to use the
internal DNS server and that you can't lookup google.com any more :)

If a DNS server returns a record not found reply, the client
necessarily won't check any other name servers, and that's where the
problem come into play...

in any case my servers will be using *.evilbunny.org :)

o wait they already are *grin* mind you majority of the delegations so
far is only IPv6, but still...
