3.3. Private or site-local addresses
The following IPv4 "private" addresses [Rekhter, 1996] and IPv6 site- local addresses [Hinden, 1998] should be resolved locally:
I support this style of solution.
I think this document is a much better operational guideline than "don't publish private addresses in the DNS", which has generally been ignored.
Rather than say: "should be resolved locally", I would prefer to say that anyone may set up a DNS server to be authoritative for these zones. That means that ISP DNS resolvers are licensed to become authoritative and squash requests to these zones.
A number of people appear to have written drafts along these lines. Mine (Jul 2002) is: draft-williams-dnsext-private-namespace-01.txt Feel free to swipe any text you like the look of.
