I still believe that .alt should be for non-DNS names only -- if they happen to leak into the DNS, this is an error / failure -- the purpose of having .alt as a locally served zone is to preserve the privacy of the queries, not to over-ride them to some other local DNS name. For DNS names, I think that there should be a *different* string (and a different document) -- they have different meanings / behaviors. I don't think I've seen a good argument for NOT doing the above -- why (other thabn the sunk time / effort) don't we do two?

This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of pants. ---maf _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
