Well DUH! I totally agree that conflicting roots break things. But I don't think that conflicting roots is an inevitable consequence of having multiple roots, or even multiple root zones.
So which is it? If conflicting roots break things, then the problem *is* insoluble. Remember that RFC2826 only discusses the issue of conflicting roots - there's no technical reason not to hand-wave and aggregate all identical roots under one "naming authority" (totally unspecified - it's *WHATEVER METHOD* got all the identical roots to *be* identical, even if it was 5 kegs of beer at a trade show ;) Valdis Kletnieks Operating Systems Analyst Virginia Tech
