Apart from the web-panels I'd say that the biggest bugbear is CPE such as DSL/cable modems. Having conducted some experiments recently, my observation is that some of these** have pretty atrocious cache/proxy implementations. I had to drop the idea of using PTR for a particular application because one implementation of dnsproxy assumes that PTR is only ever valid in in-addr.arpa space (it had plenty of other bugs too, but that's another story). I see now that some newer CPE defaults to 8.8.8.8 - at least that eliminates the local implementation bugs... Mark. ** The irony won't be lost on you, Mark, that your neighbours are probably running with that bug since I found it in a popular DSL modem sold in Australia/SE Asia. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
