to be honest, this doesn't seem to me to be something that would fall within bind's purview. comparing bind to "microsoft dns" isn't really apples to apples. microsoft dns is more than just a dns server. it's also a dns management system [whereas bind is not], which is where things like scavenging dns data or publishing metadata would belong. one partial example of this would be dhcpd's use of ddns, which uses txt records to include some metadata in dns. as it is, bind can fully support probably any such mechanism, with the benefit of being agnostic. i like that modularity, and would be disappointed if it changed. -b _______________________________________________ Please visit https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users to unsubscribe from this list bind-users mailing list bind-users@lists.isc.org https://lists.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/bind-users
