They decline for a couple of reasons: - They don't have DNS running internally - They perceive the EP node to be "outside" their domain - They don't know/care - A default is provided. Now I will agree that the forward mapping is not a necessary technical precondition, there is a need to the reverse mapping. That mapping needs a name. -- --bill
