LLMNR does create extra queries to root servers. Lets say I have named my local devices in LLMNR as "fridge" "tv" "vcr" "myserver" Now, every time, when some application wants to contact those devices, it does a normal getbyname using one of the names. Because there is only one network in my home, the internet gateway is on the same link and has also global DNS enabled. By LLMNR definion, the "getbyname" first tries to resolve those names from the global DNS. Thus for "vcr", we get query to root servers for "vcr", etc. Now, imagine every household or mobile phone doing the same... _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
