Robert, Thanks for this information, it could really help the original poster. It is true at first glance the regex-esque syntax in our I-D may seem a bit complex but I don't believe anywhere near the complexity of NAPTR and with adoption as a standard would not require the vendor-lock-in of any proprietary solution. This is also huge if zone transfers are important in your environment and you do not own/ manage all nameservers involved.
