Particularly with large passive DNS databases, you're right. I believe
that Scott's point was that we can try not to make it worse.
This is a point worth pressing on. Hard.
The source of the pressure is that the cost of a queriable registry is
high. Very, very high. So creating one needs to have a very compelling
justification. I don't see how this one comes close.
a lot of mail. (Real mail, they're the county govermnent.) This is
easily addressed by clients ignoring the report advice in the OD
parent record.
What does it mean for a /client/ to ignore the advice in the OD parent
record? I thought that record was for servers.
I meant the DNS client, which is likely to be the mail server receiving
a message.
Besides retrieving information and passing it up to its caller, the DNS
client has nothing at all to do with using advice in an OD parent
record. Hence my confusion about your text. So I think you meant "This
is easily addressed by receivers ignoring the report adivce in the OD
parent record."
Contrary to many other occasions, I'm not being this picky just for fun.
These topics seem to engender confusion in lots of folk and lots of
discussions, and so I think it important to be very careful about
terminology and references.
