needs. Now the poor .org admin - he has to believe me when i tell him what nameservers will be authoritative for example.org.
.org doesn't need to believe example.org's claim. How does .org suffer if example.org mis-lists its servers? How does example.org suffer?
and its prolly prudent for him to contact the admins of ns.isi.edu and moe.rice.edu to collect the correct IP addresses for those nodes... If I was the poor sod responsible for .org, I would not really believe that the moron holding example.org had done his homework and actually -KNEW- what the IP addresses were for these nodes or was in a position to keep that data current. but that would be me.
I think the missing link here is knowing what is done with the collected IP addresses. In the following scenario there's no risk if the addresses are incorrect.
.org won't list the ns.isi.edu address in DNS, it won't be part of the operational fabric. But let's say someone is debugging a phishing attack (as this stemmed from an APWG thing) and they note that example.org is being served up by 127.0.3.12. They ask .org what IP addresses were reported for example.org and they find that the address being heard isn't one of the listed ones. At this point it would be wrong to conclude that the address is rogue, but it merits questioning to see if it's the case that example.org just didn't make an needed update (whether aware or not) or the address is indeed rogue.
