...which is why the reverse DNS SIG meeting should be useful and
interesting. I'd be curious to know why no one thinks the reverse DNS is
important. Sure, lack of reverse DNS won't affect the flow of IP packets,
but then neither will the lack of forward DNS... :)
Maybe it is because no one knows how to set it up, or maybe it's too hard
to set up, or maybe too hard to maintain...? maybe there are other reasons?
maybe simple templates should be made available to APNIC membership to
enable them to "easily" configure forward and reverse DNS?
Or maybe APNIC shouldn't actually allocate address space until the
custodian/recipient of the address space has set up a working reverse DNS
for the proposed allocation? And if APNIC did this, maybe the APNIC
membership who receive the address space shouldn't assign any address space
to their customers until those customers have a working DNS?
should be enough points to start stirring the discussion a little... ;-)
