So far we agree (which when it's Paul and me, is really saying something.) > Sibling glue is usually the glue that the DNS would require for that > sibling zone, but in some cases the requirement lies elsewhere, ... This is where we always go off the rails. There seem to be two mutually exclusive interpretations of sibling glue: 1 - it's a small and entirely optional twiddle to speed up or skip recursing into the sibling zone b - it's an essential part of the response because it's the only way to resolve a reference loop. I've already said my piece about which of these makes sense and which is a cruel joke, but if we're going to talk about sibling glue at all, we need to decide which one we mean.
