Eric, How does this work for non-terminal labels i.e. when there is a zone cut? I think DNS server just look at qname (and not qtype) to determine that they need to do a referral (or perform recursion). Having the interpretation of the owner name be type specific provides the opportunity (however misguided it might be) to try to delegate the two name/type pairs differently. As far as I can tell using different profiles for QNAME and RDATA domain name slots doesn't have this issue. And in the future there is the option to carefully define a new class that uses a different profile for QNAME. Erik
