The real issue, IMO, is how does a callback scheme compare to
a PK scheme in terms of total transaction cost and how the
cost is allocated. This is a basic architectural decision
that is worth thinking about. They are two different models,
each with advantages and disadvantages. To avoid the issue
of creating new infrastructure and to create an equitable
comparison, I suggest that we assume that both run over
existing DNS, perhaps with the option of using Tony's "stunt"
DNS server, since this still uses existing infrastructure.
Once we have made that architectural choice, there are all
manner of optimizations possible for either style of protocol.
Dave: would it be appropriate to shift the discussion to
that question?
sure.
