Dear Katie, thank you - and everybody else at the NCC who was involved in the implementation - for having successfully completed that task. It lays the groundwork for further improvements, eg. recurring DNS delegation quality checks. Best, Carsten Katie Petrusha wrote:

Dear Colleagues,

We have updated the RIPE Database and DNS management system to implement several new features.

The change in the RIPE Database:

- There is a new syntax for the "nserver:" attribute in the DOMAIN object to support IPv4 and IPv6 glue name servers.

The changes in the DNS management system:

- The management of DNS delegation in the e164.arpa (ENUM) zone has been brought under the same provisioning system as reverse DNS management.

- The Delegation Checker has been updated to support glue name servers for IPv4 and IPv6

- The Web Zone Delegation Checker has also been updated
