that describes my position - "NAT-PT/whatever aware" node is not an option. it might look okay as shortterm workaround but will hurt us in the future. FYI, we have been there already - KAME DNS resolver code had an environment variable for setting address-translation prefix on the client side, we noticed that it is a bad thing, and it got removed. so this is from actual operational experience. itojun
Is there any paper documenting this 'operational practice' and why you consider it a 'bad thing' ? I would like to understand better why you claim that it is 'universally' a bad thing and not just 'a bad thing' within your local environment. - Alain.
