% Hi Kre,
% 
% | One would expect that people running primary servers for upper level
% | domains would have some kind of a clue as to how to go about it.
% Question: are these the same servers supposed to be running the ip6.arpa
% tree ?
% 
% It was often said that it should be the same set of servers "because
% that would be the technically sound solution" but I've seen far too
% many problems with the current set. Servers joining and being dropped,
% servers forgetting to load zones, otherwise becoming lame for a
% delegation.
% 
% Can we have any assurance that:
% a. admins will be responsible
% b. admins will be responsive
% c. delegations will remain in place
% d. servers will remain reachable, also with IPv6 ?


	yes.

	can we have any assurance that:
	a. routes to these servers will be propgated by ISPs
	b. the ietf will quit changing the DNS anchor point
	c. cooperation so that the delegations in one anchor are 
	   reflected in the other anchor.
	d. admins will populate both trees for the next 10 years,
	   about as long as it will take to flush out the resolver
	   code that has been shipping since 1997.

% 
% Thanks.
