Although i agree that fixing DNS in that respect would be helpful. >- This was considered and abandoned as another attempt to overload > the DNS. Oh, c'mon. "Purity of idea" crap again. TXT RRs were introduced specifically for that purpose. >The flaw in this approach is that the top level delegation point >can always override any downstream delegation point. (can you say >restraint of trade? Sure you can..) Depends on point of view. I would say it IS desireable. Then, as any lawyer would say you if you disallow Internet service providers asking for renumbering you'll have to shut down telephones first. There is a very strong case that renumbering in communication nbetworks is an accepted practice. (Can you say ISDN or X.25/X.121 or Frame Relay)? >It will be stronger when we get SIG RR's and dynamic update. >Perhaps we can revive it? Yeah, sure. --vadim
