At the most receint NANOG some methods of delegating DNS (in-addr.arpa's) on non octet boundaries was disccused. If I remember correclty there were two parts to this, regarding delegating individual records, and some other process. If anyone has any references to this, I would apprecated it. We are looking into this and also automatic or assisted renumbering to help reduce allocation growth and router table sizes. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | Jeremy Porter (512)-339-6094 Freeside Communications, Inc. info@fc.net | | jerry@fc.net (512)-339-4466 (data) P.O.

We, JPNIC, are recommending ISPs to use a method proposed in the draft-degroot-classless-inaddr-00.txt when ISPs allocate prefixes longer than /24 out of their block. Is there any known problem in this method? Toshiya Asaba Internet Initiative Japan, Inc.

Not as far as I know. I know of only one minor nit: bind 4.9.3b17 prints an extroneous warning message, which has been fixed since then. People have been using this for some time already, it is just not widely known which is why havard and I wrote it down. Re-sending the (slightly updated) draft is long overdue. I'll try to fix that ASAP Geert Jan
