Re: [Dime] Limited flexibility with NAPTR queries

[Victor Fajardo <vfajardo at tari.toshiba.com>]

Hi Tolga,

> Something, which is bothering me recently is the limited flexibility when using NAPTR service fields to locate Diameter servers. The current values placed in the registry allow to find *a* Diameter server in a given domain. It doesn't help much if one is looking for a server for a specific application in a given domain. This could work in environments where each domain (or better said each domain which envisions use of DNS to locate its servers) has a relay/redirect as the main contact point.

I would prefer option (b) for simplicity though I'm concerned about 
explain deployment considerations such as these in the base spec. It may 
open up the door for adding many more possible deployment scenarios 
within the base spec. It maybe possible to add this in the guidelines 
doc but I'm sure.
