[6bone] ip6.arpa ...

[Bill Manning]

% | 	several issues raised at the last RIPE mtg w/ Andrei are:
% | 	) zone consistancy.  the delegations in 3ffe should be
% This is a good point, however it is not the only proper way. I
% do not think there is any problem with converting the zonefile
% to fit the ip6.arpa tree on a regular (daily) basis. We might
% just be able to fix some lame delegations in the same run, but
% that would be deliberately creating different zones though.

	thank you. 

% | 	) the zone transfers should be protected by TSIG. I have
% | 	  not been able to successfully work with RIPE on getting
% | 	  TSIGS in place.  I have been able to do so with both APNIC
% | 	  and ARIN. I've not had dealings w/ LATNIC yet.
% This is unnessecary.

	perhaps.

% | 	) IPv6 transport capability. ARIN does not have v6 capability.
% | 	  RIPE has only sporadically supported v6 although I hope 
% | 	  the current efforts will be stable.  APNIC has had stable
% | 	  v6 capability for several years now.  LATNIC has v6 experise
% | 	  but I've not been able to get closure on their operational
% | 	  stance.
% This is unnessecary. 

	is there any reason to support DNS on IPv6 transport?
	some folks think this is a requirement.

% | 	) previous email to the 6bone list have suggested that 
% | 	  the same servers be used for both e.f.f.3.ip6.int and e.f.f.3.ip6.arpa
% | 	  and I think this is a sound stratagy.
% This is undesirable as 6BONE should not be administering servers
% in the .arpa tree. It is also unnessecary.

	why not?

% |         Recognise that the data published for 3ffe:: should be identical
% | 	regardless of anchorpoint.  Plan for an active migration plan
% | 	from industry/user nameservers to RIR nameservers for this delegation,
% | 	based on the capability of the RIRs to support native IPv6 and
% | 	TSIG. 
% It can be identical with the RIPE proposal (copying the zone and 
% s/int\./arpa.) also.

	this worries me as a DNS admin for a number of years.
	zone copy & modify has -always- generated problems.
	

% I see no technical problems at all with implementing it that way.
