Bill sez:
I am running an audit of the in-addr zone to determin the extent of defective delegations. If your systems have delegations for zones under in-addr.arpa, they will be probed during the course of the audit. It is expected that the audit will complete within the next 8-10 days, if there are no interuptions.
Ed sez:
This would be a very useful report to run at appropriate (monthly?) intervals, with results posted as far and wide as Tony Bates's CIDR Report.
OK, I'll bite. Bill, how exactly do you plan to do the audit? If it relies on zone transfers as the Subject: hints, I am not optimistic, as many folk inhibit AXFR from strange sites. OTOH, grabbing the COM, NET, and ORG zones from the NIC and just seeing how well those delegations work would be a major contribution, especially if it could be couched to encourage repair. randy
