Right, we have that. It's called the RRtype. Many, many type codes are available. Requiring the use of additional labels and not taking advantage of the very nice DNS update prerequisite support because someone doesn't want to support transparent addition of RRtypes is pathetic. We've had the capacity to extend option codes in every DHCP server (as well as most clients) in existence practically since day one, and that's a much more complicated problem than handling new RRtypes. _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
