How can you call it ``careless'' for AOL to set up A6 records from
*.aol.com to prefix.aol.net? Your spec encourages people to use A6
records this way. These records simply happen to interact badly with
AOL's existing NS records to destroy AOL's reachability.
Your ``alternative scheme'' is server-side indirection. The server
provides full addresses. That's precisely my point: the reliability
problems are an artifact of client-side indirection.
You go on to complain about the occasional effort required for the
server to sign records after renumbering. This complaint applies to your
``alternative scheme'' too. You haven't proposed any way to avoid this
without creating reliability problems.
