When I first saw Philip's message I had the same reaction, so I went to the doc to see if "meaningful SOA" was defined previously. It wasn't in that specific term, but you did write, "In those cases the SOA Serial field may not be relevant with respect to the versioning of its content," which made sense enough for me to understand Philip's edit. That said ... > What would be the harm in returning a SOA-SERIAL zone version if it > were not supposedly meaningful? Personally I don't see sufficient reason to SHOULD NOT it. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list -- dnsop@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to dnsop-le...@ietf.org
