Perhaps. This is also something the registry is supposed to be checking regularly. RFC 1034 As the last installation step, the delegation NS RRs and glue RRs necessary to make the delegation effective should be added to the parent zone. The administrators of both zones should insure that the NS and glue RRs which mark both sides of the cut are consistent and remain so. Unfortunately lots of TLD administators think they don't need to follow the proceedures in RFC 1034. All of the TLD administrators took on their roles *after* RFC 1034 was written so they have no excuse to not ensuring that these checks are being made. > I guess some DNS clients won't use the glue records if they are not part > of an authoritative answer, and some clients will try anyway, using the > IP they have from the parent (additional section). > In my case (dig version 9.6) 'dig' does the former, and 'dig +trace' the > latter. > > I have already had a similar issue, see : > https://lists.isc.org/pipermail/bind-users/2010-December/082051.html > for example. > > Regards, > > Laurent > _______________________________________________ > bind-users mailing list > bind-users@lists.isc.org > https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: ma...@isc.org _______________________________________________ bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
