Actually...... there is, at least in draft form: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-massar-dnsop-service-00.txt 8<------- This document defines a new domain, _service., which can be used for automatic service configuration and discovery. The associated anycast prefixes can be used to configure a default DNS server, which provides lookups for a local _service. domain but also acts as a (caching) recursive DNS server, thus allowing DNS clients to use this well-known address as their default DNS server as well as to use it to find various well known services, thus avoiding manual configuration. ------->8 Applied to automatically setting up IPv6 tunnels: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-massar-v6ops-tunneldiscovery-00.txt Greets, Jeroen
