Already deployed "things" It is also the case that for some "things" the fact is that the actual resolution mechanism is not using the DNS at all, so the string to "match" must then be "foobar.arpa" or equivalent for whatever TLD is chosen to decide to use some non-DNS resolution mechanism for the string "foobar". I am trying to wrap my own brain around this and what I think the best solution is...and do not have any really good solutions to suggest. paf
