The document in question is <draft-ietf-ops-rfc3291bis-01.txt> and it says in several places that 0 refers to the default zone. It would be nice if the scoping architecture could actually back this up by at least saying the default zone SHOULD be identified by the zone index 0. /js -- Juergen Schoenwaelder International University Bremen <http://www.eecs.iu-bremen.de/> P.O.
