| The inria.fr server is responsible for copying the address
| and notifying the .fr server of any changes. Everything works.
Assuming that the inria.fr server (or management of the server) ever
find out about the change. Currently if dns.cs.wisc.edu changes its
address, there's nothing the inria.fr people need to do. The change
is local to wisc.edu (and the .edu server).
With your scheme, every other zone that is hosted by the dns.cs.wisc.edu
server has to be notified of the change of address, and all at once they
all need to send off to their parent zones DNS updates, to change the
addresses.
And all this so resolvers don't need to know how to put a query on
hold while they go look up some other information (which they have to
be able to do to handle CNAME in the general case anyway, or are you
planning on abolishing aliases as well?)
