The DNS problem

[Kerry Brown]

I agree. I was asking for clarification because if he means Microsoft his statement doesn't make much sense. I've been having a hard time following his logic. It's starting to sound like a typical anti-Microsoft rant. If that's the case I'll quit trying to find the logic.

I'm pretty sure it refers to microsoft but ― and I don't usually display an over-exuberance of love for ms ―  I fail to see how it [sic] has the major influence in the DNS system.

Thanks McTim,

However, DNS is an IP look up system and re-director,  where LISP is a programing language.  MS has the major influence in the DNS system.  We need a less single source dominated system.  Our hope must come from the Open Source mavericks to provide the way.

The DNS problem and reason for confusion is due to limitations imposed during the infancy of development stages of machine inter-connectivity. Basically, IP is insufficient to grant each machine a unique identity. The limited IP addresses are licensed to master networks which in turn are sub-netted to machines which only have a local identity slaved to the master.
Ultimately, we need a unique ID for each machine which is not slaved or controlled by a master.


Is this a DNS issue or an ID/Locator problem?
 

If so, LISP may be what you want to look at here, not the DNS.
