I'm afraid I don't see those as different problems like you do. I'd like a massively scalable way of distributing any zone, not just the root. If for no other reason, .arpa and root-servers.net should be included too, for example. Yes, huge zones like .com and similar are not possible. But there are many other TLDs that likely are possible to pre-cache and serve locally. > In the second case, just create a tar file with a zone file and a hash, put > it up on a web server and the problem is solved.

That's what we're trying to accomplish. -- Wes Hardaker USC/ISI _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
