Re: Draft internic ip allocation doc
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?
No, the problem is solved, just not widely deployed. There is no requirement to delegate on octet bounds anymore. -- --bill

If we are talking about the DNS issue, I would like to read about the solution. Where is it? paul USC/Information Sciences Institute phone: 310-822-1511 x285 4676 Admiralty Way, Marina del Rey, CA fax: 310-823-6714 90292
