notify just accelerates the schedule of the next transfer, which begins with an SOA check. so the fact that the notify initiator is also the transfer initiator is interesting, but not confusing. upness and downness are subjective; initiation and response are not. -- Paul _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
