I have heard different things from different operators. Some are skeptical, some definitely want this. So I think we have to just provide a way to do it, and let the operators (and their customers) decide whether they care to do it. Populating the reverse tree with garbage records is a really bad thing to do IMHO, although you will hear voices on dnsop disagreeing with this perspective. It's also pretty expensive, particularly if you do dnssec: there is no way to generate a static zone for that many IP addresses, so you have to fake up records in response to specific queries and then do on-the-fly signing. Which to me sounds like a DoS attack in the making. _______________________________________________ homenet mailing list homenet@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/homenet
