RE: [RRG] More discussion please: mapping churn

|premature to put numbers on this.  


That's fine.  I'd be happy with a qualitative answer or even some more
discussion leading up to a qualitative answer.


|To start with, are you 
|still using a 
|general definition of "mapping", or is the question specific to 
|intermediary-based map-n-encap?  


For now, I'm remaining general, but if it's helpful, we can break it down by
case analysis.


|Second, are you assuming a single 
|database that needs to be updated, or allowing for multiple DBs or 
|distributed DB?  Are you taking into account that in pull models 
|"outdated" mapping entries might still be valid?


I think it's safe to assume that it's distributed.  ;-)  HOSTS.TXT didn't
scale that well.

Yes, of course, pull models have issues.  Should be fodder for discussion...
