Re: AAAA records to be added for root servers

Bill,

From the layer 7 point of view, I don't see what DISCOVER
would offer in addition to getaddrinfo(). The library
I'm thinking of would also have to handle reachability
checking - and as John said, would ideally also be stateful
to avoid repeating the same timeouts.
