P.S. Is there any existing RFC´s  or papers about how DNS binds to  
ipv6 multicast adresses ?
I guess some of you saw a ipv6 multicast adress in the past allready ,  
but how does an adress refer to a service ?
How does bind for example know that  http://ipv6.let.de is a multicast  
adress ? In videolan you need to past the Ipv6 multicast adress IMHO
