No. Locally Assigned Local Addresses are for talking to other machines within the locally assigned realm/scope. > I think the main thing folks might miss is that a lot of people really > want all of this on a single address--while having multiple addresses > concurrent on a single machine is acceptable for larger machines, > specifically servers, having multiples on a single host as a general > rule hasn't met with much in the way of acceptability for the vast > majority of hosts. Most people really don't care what address a machine has. They basically only ever use it as a client machine. You don't need fixed addresses for these machines. You just need a address that can reach the servers you want to talk to. You then have the few servers. For these you decide what clients they serve and give them addresses to match. These addresses along with relevent ports for the services they are offering make it into firewalls, etc. Servers are also clients so they also use the same techiques as pure clients when choosing the address they use to initiate connections. > At least that's what I'm hearing. > > :-) > > Russ > > > - -- > riw@xxxxxxxxx CCIE <>< Grace Alone > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFF7CNVER27sUhU9OQRAqf0AKCZuM30XPZO5SUYkFKpuueq3q/MIQCg/5k1 > TeUcUHxrrjd755ovY1cG1/E= > =i0+D > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: Mark_Andrews@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
