IP Space

[Ted Pavlic]

I'm very aware of this. If you read some of my previous posts on this
newsgroup, you'll find that I do not support the policy change.

Non-HTTP "web" services and accessories affected negatively by name-based
hosting:

* FTP
* SSL/TLS
* FrontPage Server Extensions
* load balancing
* more that I can't think of now

Personally, I feel ARIN should have used "HTTP-hosting" rather than "web
hosting" in their policy changes. The technology just doesn't exist at the
moment to support the type of changes on the scale of "web" that they
propose.

And you'll notice that the information they reference on their name_based
page regarding TLS and name-based hosting is an EXPIRED INTERNET DRAFT. This
brings up a couple of issues:

*) At the top of every IETF draft it states that the draft should NOT
**EVER** be cited for reference ANYWHERE

*) The DRAFT IS EXPIRED! Not only is it a draft, but it's an expired draft
which just adds insult to injury by placing on that page.

All the best --
Ted
