Multiple systems end up with problems. Even standard DNS blows up when some company (Apple) decides that an extension (.local) should not be forwarded to the DNS servers on some device (iPhone) because their service (Bonjour) uses it.

We might have an alternative one day, but it's going to happen by accident, through generalization of an internal naming service employed by a widely-used application.
Or even more likely, IMHO, that more and more applications will have their own naming services which will gradually reduce the perceived need for a general-purpose system - i.e., the centrality of DNS won't be subsumed into any single system (remember X.500?), but, rather, by a multiplicity of systems. [Note that I'm not advocating this particular approach; I just think it's the most likely scenario.] Compression/conflation of the transport stack will likely be both a driver and an effect of this trend, over time. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Roland Dobbins <rdobbins () arbor net> // <http://www.arbornetworks.com> Unfortunately, inefficiency scales really well. -- Kevin Lawton
