I tend to remember that RIPE had a strict policy about delegated address space reverse DNS: adresses must have a valid reverse and delegated (sub) blocks must be registered in RIPE db. I wanted to refer to the document mentioning these requirements but I was not able to find them.
Hello Peter, The reverse delegation policy is documented in: http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/rev-del.html There is _no_ wording about the RIPE NCC requiring reverse delegation to be set up by the LIR or by the end users. I reckon that the language you tend to remember is from the RIPE 244 (obsoleted) section 5.0: "LIRs should provide reverse delegation corresponding to an assignment during the complete validity period of the assignment." I hope this answers your query. Kind regards, -- Olaf Kolkman RIPE NCC. PS. "Encouraging the use of DNS IN-ADDR Mapping" by D. Senie might be relevant. That draft is currently discussed in the IETF DNSOP working group, the most recent revision can be found at: http://www.senie.com/dan/draft-ietf-dnsop-inaddr-required.txt ---------------------------------| Olaf M.
