My employer (part of a large educational institution) is delegated a bunch
of 4LD zones within our org's 3LD space. These are utilised in a flat
fashion, with staff machines, lab machines and servers all present as
hosts inside various 4LDs. One 4LD has literally thousands of
For obvious reasons, I'd like to move at least some stuff into 5LD space,
starting with the labs. However, when I suggested this, my boss shot me
down with "Too much typing. If it's a problem then we should …
[View More]differentiate
at the 4th level."
The only way to deal with that kind of attitude would appear to be a
formal proposal (there are other issues in our DNS that need to be tidied
up, so it's not just a proposal for this one thing), and I want to include
some industry references about best practice in zone structuring. However,
Google's not being kind to me at present. All it wants to tell me about is
AD and MS DNS, and we're using bind so that doesn't translate so well.
Anyone got some guides that I can refer to when I talk about why we
shouldn't be using the 4LD as our functional level for all things?

Hi All,
For those of you not already aware, the APNIC Executive Council
elections are coming up, due to close at the 25th APNIC Open Policy
Meeting in Taipei (25 - 29th Feb 2008).
David Hughes from Australia has been nominated for the EC and would
make both for a great member to represent the internet interests of
Australia, NZ, and South Pacific. There hasn't been an ANZ based
person on the EC since Geoff Huston in 2003. Given the impending
implosion …
[View More]of the v4 internet it's a pretty important time for the ANZ/
Pacific internet community to have a member on the EC familiar with
the region and it's many challenges.
David has a wealth of experience, and has been heavily involved in
the APNIC and operator community in the Asia Pacific region for many
years now. He is a most suitable candidate for this role.
More info on David here:
http://www.apnic.net/meetings/25/elections/ec/david_hughes.html
Wondering why you should care? The EC are effectively the Board of
Directors of APNIC. They set the budget, fee schedules, provide
policy and strategic guidance to APNIC, and a host of other duties
outlined at:
http://www.apnic.net/ec/ec-role.pdf
If you don't know already, then find out who your APNIC corporate
contact is and make sure they get involved and vote.
Online voting opens on 13 Feb. I'll be at APNIC25 so if you don't
want or have time, or care to vote, then it's easy to appoint a proxy
to vote on your behalf. I'm more than happy to do this for you - all

I'm also happy to relay any comments or questions you have on the

Cheers,
Jonny.

Dear Colleague,
This is to notify you that one or more objects in which you are
designated for notification have been modified in the NZRR routing
registry database.
These objects are used to configure the various NZIX route servers
(http://nzix.net/) so you can expect the relevant servers to be reloaded
in the near future. The reloading of the servers is staggered over a
period of time so that if you are peering with both servers at an
exchange, you can maintain at least one BGP session at …

consequently a full set of routes.
