- Terry,
-
- Let me add my two deficiences:
-
- 1) DNS should support other address classes besides InterNet (IN), including
- (but not limited to) Apple Talk (AT?), DECnet (DN?), OSI or DECnet phase V
- (OS?), etc.
-
- 2) This is probably an implementation issue, but the resolv.conf and named.boot
- files should be able to use names instead of IP addresses, and use /etc/hosts
- to look up the addresses.

- This is what I think, not what Boeing thinks. Boeing pays lawyers to say
- what Boeing thinks. Boeing pays me to do what Boeing thinks. Guess who gets
- more?
