Re: Draft internic ip allocation doc

There is an easy solution -- do not allocate less than /16s.
This would relieve InterNIC from caring about IN-ADDRs
(and will do good things for routing, too).

--vadim

    All ISPs receiving /16 prefix blocks from the InterNIC will be responsible
    for maintaining all IN-ADDR.ARPA domain records for their respective
    customers.  The InterNIC Registry will only be responsible for the
    maintenance of IN-ADDR.ARPA domain records for those CIDR blocks with
    prefixes longer than /16 issued directly from the InterNIC.


Of course that violates the NIC charter as being the NIC of first and last
resort.
