On Sun, 17 May 1998, Michael K. Smith: IMHO every dialup customer from every ISP in the world should use 192.168.254.1 for their DNS address and this number should be hard coded as the default in all client software. Then this problem would go away.
if all ISPs agreed to use these addresses... say - TWO resolvers, e.g. 192.168.254,1 and 192.168.253.1 - two mail relays, e.g. 192.168.254.5 and 192.168.253.5 - two news servers, e.g. ---254.9 and 253.9 - two ntp time servers - etc etc [the addresses chosen for /30 netmasks, I think that in my Monday morning brain-state I got it right?] And so on for "standard" services, then we could achieve global roaming SO easily. The number of times we've had customers roam elsewhere and then try and use our mail relays when for spam reasons relaying is denied...
