No, I think he means longer. IN-ADDR.ARPA can only be delegated on octet boundaries, so IN-ADDR for /16 and shorter prefixes will be delegated in /16 chunks. IN-ADDR for prefixes longer than /16 must still be maintained by the root, since they cannot be delegated. this is a very bad thing, since it forces an ip NETWORK provider also to deal with the DNS of its customers, not just to assign a pointer to their DNS. when is this problem solved? with ipv6? -- juha
