Hello, Adding to Bill's list of things to check on your DNS servers, please consider implementing RFC 1876 - `A Means for Expressing Location Information in the Domain Name System.' RFC 1876 defines the format of a DNS Resource Record (RR) for associating host location mappings to host names within a domain. In other words, you can put longitude, latitude, and altitude in the RR record, have a tool query it, and be able to plot the geographic location of the DNS site! See the following URLs for details: http://www.kei.com/homepages/ckd/dns-loc/ http://www.caida.org/Tools/iptll.html Consider RFC 1876, even if it's just a rough guess based on a wall map of your country. Thanks, Barry

Hello, I am sorry for duplicates that you may receive.

This is to let you know that I will be starting the next quarter sweep of the in-addr.arpa tree on 03 oct 1998. I'd appreciate it if you would review http://www.isi.edu/div7/people/bmanning.home/in-addr-audit.html for details. Specifically, I'd appreciate your adding the two referenced probes to your xfernets directives so that a valid audit may proceed. The run may take as long as 600 wall-clock hours. The results will be posted to the web page.

A target for this audit run is to attempt to identify DNS version distribution. If there are any questions, please feel free to contact me. If there are others that you feel should be aware, forward the information on to them and/or me.

Thank you for your consideration.
