Re: [Dime] comments on draft-tsou-dime-realm-based-redirect-00

Hi,

I have a naive question. Is it not possible to define a new error code
(distinct from DIAMETER_REDIRECT_INDICATION) for this purpose, to get
rid of managing a single host in the redirect agent? I guess this would
also imply update of RFC 3588, but at least backward compatibility
issues can be removed from the draft.

Best regards,
Sebastien.
