Bonjour. It works for every other device in the home that needs a direct connection to manage. Nobody assumes that “http://printer.home” is going to do anything useful; why is the gateway device different? (I’ve never owned a consumer-grade home gateway; whenever I’ve helped out a neighbour with theirs I’ve always just connected to whatever address the gateway’s DHCP server gave me as a default route. I had no idea there was any expectation that “router.home” would do anything sensible. It does go some way to explain what I saw at L-Root when I last had the opportunity to look, though :-) Joe _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
