I understand your concerns in Issue 1-3, but it seems to me, that you are arguing with DNSMON service itself and not with my proposal which is meant to broaden scope of DNSMON service.
That's absolutely correct Ondřej. However the two things are linked. It will be harder and more expensive for the NCC to exit the DNS monitoring business -- as it will surely have to do eventually -- if the DNSMON service has strayed even further from its initial purpose. Which, IIRC, was to monitor the NCC's own DNS infrastructure.
Can you please clarify what do you mean by "at the request of the Administration concerned"? Who is Administration? Tier-1 operator?
I was deliberately vague here. :-) It could be the Tier-1 operator. Or it might be the government/regulator. It depends on the national circumstances. <CC>.e164.arpa is a National Resource, just like a country's territory and air space. Nobody should be poking around in <CC>.e164.arpa without proper authority. Just like we usually have to show passports when crossing borders.
