Network Solutions has never actually asked me to stop allowing full outbound zone transfers of all InterNIC TLD's from F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. According to my logs, "dig @192.5.5.241 xxx axfr > xxx.zone" is a rather popular command: [dns1.pa:alpha] wc -l xfer.log* 1702 xfer.log 306 xfer.log.0 5560 xfer.log.1 3219 xfer.log.2 16859 xfer.log.3 12066 xfer.log.4 39712 total [dns1.pa:alpha] ls -l xfer.log* -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 162968 May 15 00:22 xfer.log -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 29856 May 7 17:00 xfer.log.0 -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 546016 May 6 22:01 xfer.log.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 325942 Apr 15 21:05 xfer.log.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 1724302 Apr 6 19:08 xfer.log.3 -rw-r--r-- 1 root system 1194194 Feb 28 11:35 xfer.log.4 If NSI should ask me to restrict outbound zone transfers, then I would of course immediately ask the IANA whether to comply with that request. And so now you all know why BIND-8's first development priority was to stop forking for outbound zone transfers -- I can export the COM zone 50 times in parallel (and I sometimes do) without changing the runtime profile of F.ROOT-SERVERS.NET. -- Paul Vixie La Honda, CA <[email protected]> "Many NANOG members have been around pacbell!vixie!paul longer than most." --Jim Fleming
