Heiner,

are you thinking of forwarding packets based on the destination  
hostname while the packet is within an edge network?  That could, of  
course, be an extension to the proposal I am making.  The proposal  
right now, however, uses IP addresses for routing; the hostnames are  
included only in the first packets of a connection in order to sync  
the two peers.
