And with what port would I reach this magical DNS that would
provide the SRV record for the DNS itself?
You use fixed ports for the bootstrap process and only for
the bootstrap
process.
Which means that the DNS port needs to be well-known or fixed
in advance.
Some other issues to be considered:
- this change would make the DNS required for proper Internet
operation, whereas it is currently optional (i.e., only for
finding the IP address).]
Zeroconf (which is widely deployed for ad-hoc networking and
SOHO networks) depends entirely on the premise that there is
NO available/configured DNS service.
