I think that this is the important question when it comes to know what to write. As far as DNS is concerned, "so what" if there are multiple PTR records, yadda, yadda, yadda. It's nothing to the protocol. I was made aware of the desire for limiting PTRs to 1 per address entry via traceroute. What name should be printed in the one line traceroute gives a hop? In general, that's the application's problem. Apps that can't handle multiple PTRs are the problem to me. (Why is is that weakly written apps point fingers at the DNS and blame troubles on DNS-being-DNS?) Perhaps this document should tell apps writers what they can accomplish with multiple PTRs. -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Edward Lewis +1-571-434-5468 NeuStar Never confuse activity with progress.
