The first three I thought of when the Dan suggested the feature: 1) In the places I've worked, there have often been emails going around asking who's in charge of a particular machine or a particular IP address, that information having apparently been misplaced since the machine was set up or the address allocated. In geographically dispersed organizations it can be particularly hard to figure this stuff out. It would be nice to be able to leave breadcrumbs in the zone file and have them a) not get stomped on, and b) be retrievable by an administrator working in a colo cage somewhere by sending a suitably TSIG-signed query. 2) Over the years I've had to tell a dozen or so BIND operators who'd had disk failures on their master servers to fetch backup zones from slaves, and heard sadness at the loss of comments. (Also file ordering, but that's not something that NOTE can help with.) 3) Status comments could be added to zones such as "signed by $version on $host at $date". -- Evan Hunt -- e...@isc.org Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
