Re: suggested path and arch2004-06-11 17:39:07I can't find an answer to "couldn't a client program just do the lookup itself, if the OS didn't support the new type?" For clients that can exchange UDP packets with the Internet, either directly or through a DNS cache, almost certainly yes. For clients behind RPC-speaking firewalls, nope. A closely related question that I haven't seen addressed is how hard it would be to provide a new specialized MARID RPC service to run on the firewall for the benefit of MARID clients that are in RPC jail.
