Some of both, I think. RFC 2308 changed the semantics of the field, but not its name; it's still called "SOA minimum" even though it represents something else, and it's referenced that way in subsequent RFCs such as 4034. Also, IMHO, there's a pretty good chance that if we changed the comment from "minimum" to "ncache ttl", it'll turn out someone had a script that depended on the existing format. I don't mind breaking people's scripts if there's a compelling reason, but I'm not sure the benefit here is all that significant, so inertia wins this round. :) -- Evan Hunt -- e...@isc.org Internet Systems Consortium, Inc. _______________________________________________ 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
