I'm not really a DNS person, I just sometimes pretend to be one.
Here, I am very confused. Why would glue be required for a nameserver
that sits in a different DNS hierarchy? As in, why is the question of
"correct or incorrect glue" relevant at all here?
I do understand the ".net IN NS a.gtld-servers.net. which can only be
resolved with glue" case, but ".ne IN NS ne.cctld.authdns.ripe.net"
should be fine without any glue?
Curious,
