Dear wg, I have heard from Bill Manning that ARIN has requested removal of their space from the ip6.int tree, and I'm wondering what the current point of view is for the RIPE NCC. I would like to see ip6.int dismanteled 'correctly', ie not in the way described below: I wrote to ipv6-ops@lists.cluenet.de:
I have heard DNS operators are planning on removing ip6.int from their resolvers (ie by plugging ip6.int into an empty zone on their recursors). What are your thoughts on this? I am considering removing ip6.int also in the same way, because I think it can take a long time for the parent of .int to remove ip6 delegation (if they are even considering this is unknown to me) and for sure it might take a long time for the ip6.int folks to remove children from their zone.
Bill replied: | ip6.int is ready to remove zone cuts for ARIN. | they are the only RIR who has requested delegation removal. | when/if the other RIRs request delegation removal, it will | occur. Has this been discussed before? If so, I'm sorry I missed it :) What was the outcome in that case? I think it is a very good idea to have RIPE NCC and APNIC request delegation removal. -- ---------- - - - - -+- - - - - ---------- Pim van Pelt Email: pim@ipng.nl http://www.ipng.nl/ IPv6 Deployment -----------------------------------------------
