Folks,
Here's the updated document. I was planning on sending this out over the weekend, but forgot the modem cable ;-( Anyway, let's see if we can get agreement on this. Please note that the database specific things I do not want to spend too much on, this should be done at the RIPE meeting.
A few more days to comment. Want to start delegating blocks end of the week, and during next week (although I will be at the IETF).
8. The registration of the reverse zones for individual class C networks will usually be done by the registry administering the class C block this network has been assigned from. The registry will make the necessary changes to the zone, and update the network objects in the RIPE database for these networks, to reflect the correct "rev-srv" fields. In case the RIPE NCC receives a request for the reverse zone of an individual class C network out of a block that has been delegated, the request will be forwarded to the zone contact for this reverse block. OK, but it is not said how the RIPE-NCC should receive (in a network template?) a request for a network belonging to a block which has not been delegated to any local registry and what happens then. Suppose you get: inetnum: 193.204.64.0 - 193.204.67.0 <administrativia> rev-srv: <server1> rev-srv: <server2> But server1 and server2 only have data for 64.204.193.in-addr.arpa. because
Above procedures are defined to ensure the necessary high availability for the 193 reverse domains, and to minimize confusion. The NCC will ensure fast repsonse times for addition requests, and will in principle update the 193.in-addr.arpa domain at least once per working day.
The NCC also suggests that similar procedures are set up for the delegation of reverse zones from the registries to individual organisations. I think this sentence should be expanded/clarified: no block delegation is
Sorry, but I think the document is still missing some detail. Altough implicit I think it should clearly say that delegation can be done either for each single class-C net or for a 256-block. Unfortunately no delegation is possible for smaller blocks. the remaining three nets in the block are not yet active. What will you do? possible from a local registry to individual organization, only single networks are under a 256-block.
