Actually it seems like you want to jump up and down on it. Given that both the benefits and the potential problems have been extensively debated elsewhere, I'll simply say that you raise interesting questions that I think people interested in this method should answer for themselves.
So, you're advocating
This is the second time you've made this claim, I ignored it the first time, but let me be clear. I'm not advocating anything. Someone else asked if it made sense to do so, and I responded. Yes, the FreeBSD named.conf states that there are advantages to this method, it also states that there are things to be careful about.
a method that potentially fragilizes one's DNS infrastructure, but you're not providing factual data backing up the purported advantages,
Nope, I'm saying that it's all been discussed before, and this isn't the forum to discuss it in more detail.
and actually leave it up to the users to find out for themselves ? Gee, that's a seller :)
I think you'd be pretty foolish to not carefully weigh the pros and cons for yourself before making any change of this nature to something as critical as DNS, and I include things that I _do_ advocate in that category like DNSSEC and IPv6.
Now, I'm not being skeptical here, but you put the arguments for slaving the top level zones as a win-only situation.
And for me, and a lot of others it has been. If you have something new to contribute in regards to the negatives I'm happy to listen, although this might not be the best forum.
Well, I was trying to raise constructive criticism - and hoped you would reply by providing links to resources/references summarizing the advantages, with more than empirical claims.
But agreed, this is best discussed elsewhere :)
Funny how you keep saying that .... Doug -- Nothin' ever doesn't change, but nothin' changes much. -- OK Go Breadth of IT experience, and depth of knowledge in the DNS. Yours for the right price. :) http://SupersetSolutions.com/
