Re: RFC: Should Nmap resolve and scan all addresses by default?

[jah <jah () zadkiel plus com>]

Might not automatically scanning all resolved addresses be surprising to
a number of Nmap users?  How about a third option that will defer the
decision on default behaviour and allow for notice to be given in
advance of any change:

C. Introduce the feature, keep the default behaviour, but accept an
argument to specify either behaviour.

It can be made clear in the documentation that the default may/will
change in the future.

As an aside, the arguments --resolveall and --resolveone don't seem to
describe the behaviour very well.  More descriptive might be --scan-all
and --scan-one or something like that.
