Er, let me rephrase that, a single _set_ of daemons that are
drive by the same framework/config files. In other words,
daemons that worked directly with each other.
E.g., a good set of daemons would include:
- RARP protocol (BOOTP/DHCP)
- DDNS updates (from clients, including "override" logic)
- DNS queries
- DNS zone transfers (legacy BIND/DNS secondary servers)
- Legacy ident/proxy/service integration (NetBIOS/WINS,
SAP/NLSP)
- Peer replication (to the same daemons on other systems)
Especially since IPv6 uses MAC addresses, and any standard
node can have up to three (3) IPv6 addresses.
