For all it's short comings the DNS and the single namespace it brings is much better than having a multitude of namespaces.
I agree with you, but I don't think this approach is going to persist as the standard model. Increasingly, transport and what we now call layer-7 are going to become conflated (we already see all these Rube Goldberg-type mechanisms to try and accomplish this OOB now, with predictable results), and that's going to lead to APIs/data types embedding this information, IMHO. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins@arbor.net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Unfortunately, inefficiency scales really well. -- Kevin Lawton
