Folks, what does the DNS WG think about recommending usage of in-addr.arpa for router networks in order to facilitate problem diagnostics?

They've been (in the past) telling me that it was planned but they haven't gotten around to doing it. Well, the shoe has dropped. They've abandoned all pretenses of ever intending to install IN-ADDR.ARPA zones to the name servers. It simply will never happen. For users and network operators alike, this is a serious problem if we can't at least pin-point the locality of network outages. What political recourse does RIPE (or EBONE) have to bring Renater into line? Is there an "authority" I can complain to? Thanks, -Philip
