It seems like maybe that is all too common. Are the 'best practices' documented for Authoritative DNS somewhere central? Are they just not well publicized? Do registrars offer this information for end-users/clients? Do they show how their hosted solutions are better/works/in-compliance-with these best practices? (worldnic comes to mind)
Should this perhaps be better documented and presented at a future NANOG meeting? (and thus placed online in presentation format)
Will somebody who has the OReilly DNS book handy check and see if Chapter 8 doesn't already cover this? http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/dns4/ If it doesn't, maybe we need to hint to the authors that an update is needed for the 5th edition. If it does, I suspect the basic problem runs much deeper, and can't be solved by a NANOG presentation put online...
