That may sound silly, but there's a merit in the idea that domain names can successfully replace the SNMP's object IDs. SNMP and DNS then become the same protocol.
Cool. I can now dream of a day when nslookup for a router returns something lovely like:
1.3.6.1.2.1.11

Nah, that's when your network monitor sends query for an integer number RR to in-bytes.0.0.ethernet.interface.cisco0.san-jose.halter.net and when you type "mail postmaster () halter net" you generate request to postmaster.mail.halter.net when you do "netscape http://halter.net/funpages-dir/funpage.html" then mozilla version 100219382973.117 retrieves html.funpage.funpages-dir.http.halter.net and when you do "cat //rodan.halter.net/mnt1/ftp/pub/junk/README" some global NFS opens file at README.junk.pub.ftp.mnt1.nfs.rodan.halter.net and when your command is "telnet rodan.halter.net" the DNS will get to login.rodan.halter.net. Note that all names are constructed using the simple rule: <application-specific part>.<service name>.<host name>.<domain> --vadim - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
