Dear all, please expect an updated version of "Recommendations for DNS SOA Values", draft-koch-dns-soa-values-01.txt, to appear in the Internet-Drafts directories during the next week. (For the impatient: http://www.TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE/~pk/dns/draft-koch-dns-soa-values-01.txt...) This is the "very short" document out of our series of three. It was discussed during the IETF meeting in Minneapolis, where concerns were raised regarding the relationship to earlier RFCs (1537 and 1912). This has been clarified and the target audience and design goals are layed out more precisely. The values have remained unchanged since the presentation in Amsterdam, although a note has been added that this set does not claim to be the optimal nor that such optimum exists. They are, however, a working solution for the target audience (less experienced DNS maintainer of small and stable zone). We should be able to cover 70%+ of the cases. Comments welcome. -Peter
