Ballot Text

Technical Summary
 
   These four documents jointly specify how fully 
   qualified domain names (FQDNs) are handled in DHCP, 
   how the mapping between FQDNs and DHCP-assigned 
   addresses are registered in the DNS, and how
   conflicts are resolved when multiple DHCP servers 
   or clients attempt to register the same FQDN.

   In particular:
   
   draft-ietf-dhc-ddns-resolution-10.txt:
   
      Defines a mechanism to resolve conflicts when
      multiple DHCP clients or servers try to register
      the same FQDN in the DNS.

   draft-ietf-dnsext-dhcid-rr-10.txt:

      Defines and RR type for use with the DDNS
      resolution mechanism in the previous document.

   draft-ietf-dhc-fqdn-option-11.txt:

      Defines the FQDN option for DHCP(v4).

   draft-ietf-dhc-dhcpv6-fqdn-03.txt:

      Defines the FQDN option for DHCPv6.
 
Working Group Summary
