A domain owner has discontinued their services, but left the domain pointing to our DNS Servers, or sometimes, just pointed to us for no apparent reason. There is no mechanism for Authoritative DNS Server owners to have lame delegations removed by the registries, so I either have to put up with the continuous query/retry traffic, or I have to actually create a zone just so there's a means to return NXDOMAIN with a TTL. Neither solution is good, and the second one, while probably justifiable, does not feel "legit" to me, and results in longer-term data maintenance issues. -- Michael Sheldon Dev-DNS Services GoDaddy.com _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
