A new version of I-D, draft-allbery-afs-srv-records-03.txt has been
successfuly submitted by Russ Allbery and posted to the IETF repository.

Filename:	 draft-allbery-afs-srv-records
Revision:	 03
Title:		 DNS SRV Resource Records for AFS
Creation_date:	 2010-01-07
WG ID:		 Independent Submission
Number_of_pages: 11

Abstract:
This document specifies how to use DNS (Domain Name Service) SRV RRs
(Resource Records) to locate services for the AFS distributed file
system and how the priority and weight values of the SRV RR should be
interpreted in the server ranking system used by AFS.  It deprecates
use of the AFSDB RR to locate AFS cell database servers and provides
guidance for backward compatibility.

Changes:

* Document is now marked standards track, with corresponding division of
  references into normative and informative.

* Added informative references to the Arla and OpenAFS documentation and
  corresponding references in the text.

* Added a parenthetical explanation for why not publishing AFSDB RRs
  unless the server provides both VLDB and PTS service on the standard
  ports is a SHOULD NOT rather than a MUST NOT.

* Reordered paragraphs around the restrictions on caching information to
  hopefully make the text somewhat clearer.

* Fixed some minor grammatical issues.
