<hat chair=off just-another-bozo=on> Last time I remember this coming up, my tentitive conclusion (no longer recall whether I convinced anybody else) was that EPP should include a mechanism to let the EPP client specify a desired TTL, but that this was advisory, and that the EPP server shouldn't be required to honor it. I'm using the terms "EPP client" and "EPP server" loosely, just to indicate the roles.
The general idea here is that, if the parent zone admin has no strong opinion on what the TTL should be and the child zone admin does, there ought to be a way for the child zone admin to inform the parent zone admin of the child zone admin's wishes. However, since the DS RR is data in the parent zone, the child zone admin's opinions are purely advisory and the parent zone admin wins if the parent zone admin has a strong opinion. YMMV. </hat> . dnsop resources:_____________________________________________________ web user interface: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/dnsop.html mhonarc archive: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/dnsop/index.html
