Gary, this subject is only beginning to gain the recognition it deserves for its full import in the IP space. Earlier considerations for a universal address tracking system were conceived in the ATM model, prior to the proliferation of IP. For an interesting glance at some of these considerations, see the following which I just now pulled out of the air by doing a search: multimedia.itek.norut.no In particular, see section 3.5 re: 3.5 ARP and ARP Servers Should we be concerned with such ATM "entanglements" when discussing this topic? I think so, if, for no other reason than, because of the growing number of dsl and other last mile services which are based on end point directories based on ATM NSAPs . Addresses and directory-based translations/resolving will abound, IMO, and the complexity of the directory task will increase, accordingly. If you or someone else here, or lurkers looking in, are versed in these matters I'd like to hear from you or them. What say? Regards, Frank Coluccio
