If it's too costly, I assure you that there are several DNS companies that would be happy to take over the task.
So, how would you authenticate that I'm authorized or not to have a DNS delegation for 30.195.in-addr.arpa? Without help of the RIPE NCC?
People seem to be able to manage this on the routing side today, so presumably those mechanisms would work here too. But of course it would be even better to have explicit authorization mechanisms. Perhaps the RIRs could develop some sort of address certification technology... ;) I'm not seriously proposing separating DNS management from the RIPE NCC, merely pointing out that all because things have always been done that way doesn't mean that the necessarily have to be done that way. -- Shane
