Raising hand timidly.... Instead of listing the zones in section 4 (which then will get hard coded into implementations), follow section 6 and register the zones in the new/to-be-created IANA assignment registry. This will force implementations to go look at the assignment registry and maybe more aware of the dynamic nature of some of these zones. As the draft is now, some implementors probably will stop reading after section 5. :( -- *********************************************************************** Derek Diget Office of Information Technology Western Michigan University - Kalamazoo Michigan USA - www.wmich.edu/ *********************************************************************** _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
