From the point of view of data management, I think it is an unalloyed good. I always thought the nameserver-as-attribute approach was dramatically worse. Particularly for internal host objects, the enforced consistency of the glue for every domain that's using it is a giant help. > One the other hand, it can be beneficial to give every zone unique > name server names (in-zone vanity names, or otherwise), even if those > names resolve to the same name-servers. Yes, although with the increasing amount of outsourcing of DNS, I think you're bound to see a mix of unique names and very widely-shared names. Also, it's not like it's terrifically onerous, although I know some registrars' web interfaces for this are messy and confusing.
