Intdir telechat review of draft-ietf-httpbis-alias-proxy-status-05

Reviewer: Brian Haberman
Review result: On the Right Track

I am an assigned INT directorate reviewer for
draft-ietf-httpbis-alias-proxy-status. These comments were written primarily
for the benefit of the Internet Area Directors. Document editors and
shepherd(s) should treat these comments just like they would treat comments
from any other IETF contributors and resolve them along with any other Last
Call comments that have been received. For more details on the INT Directorate,
see https://datatracker.ietf.org/group/intdir/about/.

Major Issues:

I am a bit concerned that there is no discussion about the potential scope for
either domain names or IP addresses. What happens if a proxy sits behind a NAT?
Does the NAT now need an ALG to convert private IP addresses to global ones?
What about a situation where the proxy sits behind a firewall utilizing split
DNS?
