RE: DPD & DPV requirements - Let us Recurse

["Covey, Carlin" <ccovey@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Peter,

I second Steve's thank you.  But I question Steve's use of "IF"
in his reply below.  Didn't a previous email mention that a DPV
server might make use of another DPV server without any evidence of
this in the response?  (This was made in the context of a discussion of
transitive trust.)  Does your use of "IF" here imply that outlawing such
"relays" from one DPV (or DPD) server to another might be a legitimate 
way to manage the loop problem?

Regards,

Carlin

Peter,

Thanks for pointing out the loop detection requirement that needs to 
be part of the protocol IF we allow these servers to call one another.
