I think excluding testing & experimental addresses is potentially dangerous. For example, it is possible that one of these may need DNS for an Internet-wide experiment. In any case, I don't think there is much benefit by including these blocks. I propose the ORCHID and the rest of the special purpose IPv6 addresses be left out of the list of local zones, and treated normally. -- Shane _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
