Title:                                   Location Information Server (LIS) Discovery From Behind Residential Gateways
Creation_date:                  2009-07-26
WG ID:                                   Independent Submission

Abstract:
The residential gateway is a device that has become an integral part
of home networking equipment.  Discovering a Location Information
Server (LIS) is a necessary part of acquiring location information
for location-based services.  However, discovering a LIS when a
residential gateway is present poses a configuration challenge,
requiring a method that is able to work around the obstacle presented
by the gateway.

This document describes a solution to this problem.  The solution
provides alternative domain names as input to the LIS discovery
process based on the network addresses assigned to a Device.
