Yes. Before RFC 8499, "in-bailiwick" had two meanings. in-bailiwick to mean that a nameserver name is a subdomain of its zone apex. and "in-domain" http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/notes.html >, which is not a term > I have seen anywhere else. Yes. I borrowed the words "in-domain" and "sibling" from draft-koch-dns-glue-clarifications. (submitted in 2010, draft only) There are no "in-bailiwick" and "out-of-bailiwick" definitions before RFC 7719. We need four types of glue names. In RFC 8499, "out-of-bailiwick", "in-bailiwick", "in-domain", "sibling". Please propose new names. # And I missed a term related to domain name: Occluded Name [(RFC6936]. -- Kazunori Fujiwara, JPRS <fujiw...@jprs.co.jp> _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
