[dns-wg] Re: [db-wg] Proposal to change the syntax of "nserver:" attribute

Hoi Katie, One thing caught my eye:

[domain_name] is the fully qualified DNS name of the name server without a trailing "." Considering 'bfib.ipng.nl' and 'bfib.ipng.nl.' end up pointing to the same hostname (the latter doing a somewhat better job), I don't understand why you would want to specify '... without the trailing "."'. I sometimes bump into this in other (related) areas such as looking up "*.in-addr.arpa.". It was discussed some time ago and IIRC the outcome was that the software is easily modified to accept this trailing dot. I'd prefer to see it that way.

Thanks for your efforts, -- Met vriendelijke groet, BIT BV / Ing P.B. van Pelt PBVP1-RIPE (PGPKEY-4DCA7E5E)
