Ouch. Well so if a large body of ietf participators think wide area rdns is a bad idea and that this option should never be recommended then we would presumably have to say so in the document which standardized the option. Strange. On May 7, 2014 7:09:26 PM CEST, Andrew Sullivan

Joe... To clarify... Client subnet is not what I an complaining about. It's wide area rdns itself that I think is a bad idea. One reason wide area rdns is a bad idea is that it needs client subnet options. Centralized rdns is not necessary and it makes the internet brittle. Better alternatives
