    iSNS comments



    
    some comments on the new iSNS draft
    
    1) it lacks a Table of contents, unlike iSCSI.  please add one.
       (given that, i am liable to have missed some section which 
        might have answered the questions raised below!)
    
    2) What happens if an iSNS client tries to update its 
       TCP/UDP port or IP address (for Portal/ESI/etc) ?
       
       So the entry exists, and now the client sends a RegDevAttr
       request with the update flag set for changing the above.
       
       If the port(s) is going to be well-known, the questions below 
       may not arise.  If not,...
     
       a) Will the old TCP connection be broken by the iSNS server ?
       b) Would the RegDevResponse be sent to the old/new port ?
       c) Who initiates the new connection (client or server) ?
       d) How would the client know the request succeeded ?
       
    3) Is there a requirement to provide (keyword=MUST) a secondary 
       iSNS server ?  If I am not mistaken, DNS does mandate a  
       secondary server for every zone to avoid single-pt-of-failure.
