+         PPP Internet Protocol Control Protocol Extensions for

+
+Status of this Memo
+
+   This memo provides information for the Internet community.  This memo
+   does not specify an Internet standard of any kind.  Distribution of
+   this memo is unlimited.
+
+Abstract
+
+   The Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) [1] provides a standard method for
+   transporting multi-protocol datagrams over point-to-point links.  PPP
+   defines an extensible Link Control Protocol and a family of Network
+   Control Protocols (NCPs) for establishing and configuring different
+   network-layer protocols.
+
+   This document extends the NCP for establishing and configuring the
+   Internet Protocol over PPP [2], defining the negotiation of primary
+   and secondary Domain Name System (DNS) [3] and NetBIOS Name Server
+   (NBNS) [4] addresses.

+1.  Additional IPCP Configuration Options
+
+   The four name server address configuration options, 129 to 132,
+   provide a method of obtaining the addresses of Domain Name System
+   (DNS) servers and (NetBIOS Name Server (NBNS) nodes on the remote
+   network.

+
+
+   Primary and secondary addresses are negotiated independently.  They
+   serve identical purposes, except that when both are present an
+   attempt SHOULD be made to resolve names using the primary address
+   before using the secondary address.
+
+   For implementational convenience, these options are designed to be
+   identical in format and behavior to option 3 (IP-Address) which is
+   already present in most IPCP implementations.
+
+   Since the usefulness of name server address information is dependent
+   on the topology of the remote network and local peer's application,
+   it is suggested that these options not be included in the list of
+   "IPCP Recommended Options".
+
+1.1.  Primary DNS Server Address
+
+   Description
+
+      This Configuration Option defines a method for negotiating with
+      the remote peer the address of the primary DNS server to be used
+      on the local end of the link.  If local peer requests an invalid
+      server address (which it will typically do intentionally) the
+      remote peer specifies the address by NAKing this option, and
+      returning the IP address of a valid DNS server.
+
+      By default, no primary DNS address is provided.
+
+   A summary of the Primary DNS Address Configuration Option format is
+   shown below.  The fields are transmitted from left to right.

+
+   Primary-DNS-Address
+
+      The four octet Primary-DNS-Address is the address of the primary
+      DNS server to be used by the local peer.  If all four octets are
+      set to zero, it indicates an explicit request that the peer
+      provide the address information in a Config-Nak packet.
+
+   Default
+
+      No address is provided.
+
+1.2.  Primary NBNS Server Address
+
+   Description
+
+      This Configuration Option defines a method for negotiating with
+      the remote peer the address of the primary NBNS server to be used
+      on the local end of the link.  If local peer requests an invalid
+      server address (which it will typically do intentionally) the
+      remote peer specifies the address by NAKing this option, and
+      returning the IP address of a valid NBNS server.
+
+      By default, no primary NBNS address is provided.
+
+   A summary of the Primary NBNS Address Configuration Option format is

+1.3.  Secondary DNS Server Address
+
+   Description
+
+      This Configuration Option defines a method for negotiating with
+      the remote peer the address of the secondary DNS server to be used
+      on the local end of the link.  If local peer requests an invalid
+      server address (which it will typically do intentionally) the
