Administrative require, not technical. This seems pretty hypothetical, since I don't think I've ever seen a CNAME in a TLD zone. >> Another non-delegation record also commonly found in TLDs is >> _nicname._tcp.<tld> SRV. > >_underscore labels are excempted in the draft already, because > [ they're not host names ] Right, but that still doesn't deal with stuff like monitor-nominet.horse. How about instead saying the zone has only names one level below the zone cut, other than _underscore ones. That prevents shadowed delegations just as well and matches actual zone files a lot better. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
