RFC for common shared IP for easy roaming

  • From: Paul Mansfield
  • Date: Tue May 19 12:44:15 1998 
I've begun a mailing list here for this, picked out all names which were
interested in pooling ideas and/or reviewing it all.

I think its clear that there is a need for something simple, effective,
and easy for ISPs to do before IPv6/v8 and other auto-DNS over PPP etc
are available.

Briefly, ideas so far are to have a fixed nameserver in the "swamp" of IPs,
and then have hosts like relay.mail.local and so on, as well as to
pre-allocated IPs for common standard services.

I'll gladly accumulate ideas until all interested parties have "registered".
