Would it be too much to try to get the RIRs to agree that "ip6.int." get a DNAME and all other zones get unlinked in a shorter timeframe? i.e. why go through the motions of many different subzones of ip6.int. having DNAMEs when just one record will do for the world? In any other Internet context, I can see this as being too many cooks in the kitchen, but the entities serving up ip6.int. zones are of a reasonably small number. -- -- Todd Vierling <tv@duh.org> <tv@pobox.com>
