% I'd be interested in reading more about this, but it is my
% understanding that the DNS protocol (and presumably most of the rest
% of the Internet protocols) were designed with certain basic
% assumptions in mind, and one of those core assumptions is that there
% are certain "anchor" machines for certain functions, and these
% machines do not move around or have their IP addresses change, and if
% they do move or have their addresses change, then you need to make
% configuration file changes that are outside the scope of the protocol.
Actually, the protocols do not mandate configuration
data. Yes, certain assumptions were made (don't we all? :)
but those assumptions can be (should be?) revisited periodically.
