responsibility. If they want to use DHCPv6, or NAT, or Packet over Avian Carrier to achieve that, let them. If using them causes them problems, then they should not use them. It really isn't the community's place to force people not to use tools they find useful because we do not like them. Not to mention that when you take tools -away- from people that solve an existing problem, you'll get a lot of pushback. I, personally, have been waiting to hear what happens when network techs discover that they can't carry IP addresses around in their heads anymore.
That sounds trivial, perhaps, but I don't think it will be.
Absolutely, it's certainly one thing I'm dreading. I know, DNS is awesome, but DNS also breaks (SysAdmin mantra: "It's a DNS problem", because if something is behaving in an unusual fashion, it's usually DNS that's at fault). I guess I'll routinely be storing a copy of the zone file in my DropBox or something as a precaution so I can access it from my phone. Paul
