Subject: [nfsv4] New Version Notification for draft-ietf-nfsv4-federated-fs-dns-srv-namespace-12.txt

The new draft incorporates the Protocol documentation change I suggested yesterday.

It also removes the "." from the Service name, moving to "_nfs-domainroot".  Progress isn't worth a war over names that only administrators see.

Any other protocol that wants to use SRV to discover the "domain root" for a DNS name would have to come up with its own SRV registration in any case, regardless of any structure in the Service name.

   The NFS version 4 protocol provides a mechanism for a collection of

   NFS file servers to collaborate in providing an organization-wide

   file name space.  The DNS SRV RR allows a simple way for an

   organization to publish the root of its filesystem name space, even

   to clients that might not be intimately associated with such an

   organization.  The DNS SRV RR can be used to join these organization-

   wide file name spaces together to allow construction of a global,

   uniform NFS file name space.
