Just FYI.. I have personally NAK'd 4 updates sent in by clients of mine which effected domains on my servers. The updates were technically correct (for auto-processing), but had the wrong information. internic conveniently ignored the NAK's, all of them.

Sounds like a nonreversible setting to me. What if you need to change it? Anyway, I think that by default, the update goes through automatically, a positive acknoledgement is ignored (default behaviour) and a negative acknowledgement is honored. (Which means AOL should have been able to stop it). Then there is the setting where the update will not go through by default, and a positive acknowledgement is required. As to whether it all works as advertized (and PGP auth too?), who knows? -Phil
