+            DNS resolution is built into a variety of existing software
+            components.
+            Most significantly operating systems and HTTP clients.
+            This section illustrates possible migration paths for both in order
+            to enable "legacy" applications to resolve GNS names.
+          </t>
+          <t>
+            One way to efficiently facilitate the resolution of GNS names
+            are GNS-enabled DNS server implementations.
+            Local DNS queries are thereby either rerouted or explicitly 
configured
+            to be resolved by a "DNS-to-GNS" server that runs locally.
+            This DNS server tries to interpret any incoming query for a name
+            as a GNS resolution request.
+            If no start zone can be found for the name and it does not end in
+            a zTLD, the server tries to resolve the name in DNS.
+            Otherwise, the name is resolved in GNS.
+            In the latter case, the resulting record set is converted to a DNS
+            answer packet and is returned accordingly.
+            An implementation of a DNS-to-GNS server can be found in
+            <xref target="GNUnet"/>.
+          </t>
+          <t>
+            A similar approach is to use operating systems extensions such as
+            the name service switch (<xref target="nsswitch"/>).
+            It allows the system administrator to configure plugins
+            which are used for hostname resolution.
+            A GNS name service switch plugin can be used in a similar fashion 
as
+            the "DNS-to-GNS" server.
+            An implementation of a glibc-compatible nsswitch plugin for GNS
+            can be found in <xref target="GNUnet"/>.
+          </t>
+          <t>
+            The methods above are usually also effective for HTTP client
+            software.
+            However, HTTP clients are commonly used in combination with
+            TLS.
+            TLS certificate validation and in particular server name indication
+            (SNI) requires additional logic in HTTP clients when GNS names are
+            in play (<xref target="uc_virthost"/>).
+            In order to transparently enable this functionality for migration
+            purposes, a local GNS-aware SOCKS5 proxy <xref target="RFC1928"/>
+            can be configured to resolve domain names.
+            The SOCKS5 proxy, similar to the DNS-to-GNS server, is capable
+            of resolving both GNS and DNS names.
+            In the event of a TLS connection request with a GNS name, the 
SOCKS5
+            proxy can act as a man-in-the-middle, terminating the TLS 
connection
+            and establishing a secure connection against the requested host.
+            In order to establish a secure connection, the proxy may use LEHO
+            and TLSA records stored in the record set under the GNS name.
+            The proxy must provide a locally trusted certificate for the GNS
+            name to the HTTP client which usually requires the generation and
+            configuration of a local trust anchor in the browser.
+            An implementation of this SOCKS5 proxy can be found in
+            <xref target="GNUnet"/>.
