No, that was yet another class, HS. Hesiod was an MIT Project Athena thing, and arguably was the first example of "screw it, just encode it in DNS TXT RRs" syndrome. IIRC the only RR types ever used in class HS were NS, TXT, and (maybe) A; I have a vague recollection that they just looked for IN A RRsets corresponding to the names in the RDATA of HS NS RRs. And yeah, a few other universities did pick up Hesiod, but I'd be astonished if there were any surviving instances today. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
