Re: [hm-staff] Re: NIR Operational Draft - DNS (fwd)



Billy, I've replied inline to ensure we keep context right.

I hope these answers help clarify things, please get back to me if anything
isn't clear.

cheers

If the entire /16 is delegated from KRNIC, then there is no need to detail the
/24 which are in turn sub-delegated within that /16. But if any one /24 is not
delegated from KRNIC (eg, if the NIR member transfers data management to
APNIC for a specific /24) then all the remaining /24 must be detailed in the
flat file.

If the entire /16 is delegated from KRNIC, then there is actually no need to
use a flat file: instead, a single domain object at APNIC can be used. This is
what is done at present for each /16 which is delegated to KRNIC for
sub-delegation to more specifics (/17 to /24)

In the case of direct allocations from now on, if you have allocated a /16 or
multiple /16 to NIR members, then you have the choice: either put domain
objects for each /16 in APNIC whois, or add records for the /16 to the flat
file you are providing, which is in respect of the parent /8 in question. And
for these direct allocations of /16, you only have to detail the /16 if the
ENTIRE /16 is one allocation, its only if you are allocating /17 to /24 that
you will have to provide details of each /24 in question.

eg in the event of allocating a /20 you would provide deatails for each of the
16 /24s.

No. This format is wrong. it should have been:

211.210.in-addr.arpa.	IN	NS	ns.krnic.net.
211.210.in-addr.arpa.	IN	NS	ns.kreonet.re.kr.
211.210.in-addr.arpa.	IN	NS	kr2nd.kornet.net.
211.210.in-addr.arpa.	IN	NS	kr2ld.dacom.co.kr.
211.210.in-addr.arpa.	IN	NS	kr2nd.hitel.net.
211.210.in-addr.arpa.	IN	NS	usns.dacom.co.kr.

ie if a given /16 has 6 listed NS, then there should be 6 lines in the file, 
one for each NS, expressed as the fully qualified in-addr domain.

Yes. imagine if your FTP server is hacked, and somebody uploads non-trustable
zonefile. Without .asc file, we cannot check the zone is produced by KRNIC
internal processes.

KRNIC admin email.

the PGP key is re-generated whenever the flat file is modified.

I hope this helps clarify things.
