This is clearer to me than the text above, ... ...but wrong. label pointers aren't subroutine calls, they're goto's. so if you want to represent root-server.org and root-servers.net in the same message, you will have to fully instantiate "root-servers" twice, even though both of them could be followed by pointers to "net" and "org" if those appear elsewhere in the message. > As a "zone owner" (to use this document's phrase), I found this > document useful and clearly written, and support its publication in > the RFC series, with or without the small change I suggested above. i hope that others report similarly, so that we can put this thing to bed. > I note that the idnits tool when run against this draft produces a > small avalanche of issues, but I presume this is something to be > figured out between the authors and the RFC editor rather than by > this working group. i promise that i'll stop producing drafts using nroff when jon's sed script for removing the extra blank lines on the last page stops working. -- Paul Vixie _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
