Common interpretation (based on the examples) is that 'thalt shalt not have out-of-bailiwick A records in in-addr.arpa zones', leaving the possibility of having in-bailiwick A records within the zones open. From a Registry POV, allowing in-bailiwick glue adds the requirement of keeping track of the IP addresses used; whilst it is clearly the responsibility of the child to keep the parent informed about changes, most people simple do not think about these things until breakage occurs, with the finger of blame being pointed at the parent for not supporting the do-what-I-want-not-what-I-say interface correctly. --==-- Bruce. . dnsop resources:_____________________________________________________ web user interface: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/dnsop.html mhonarc archive: http://darkwing.uoregon.edu/~llynch/dnsop/index.html
