Hi,

I wonder if I could please have someone say whether they agree
with me on this one:

I've come across a configuration "in the wild" where a given zone
'z' contains both

a.z.     NS     some.name.server.

*and*

sub.a.z. NS     some.other.name.server.

and where the owner of 'a.z' could not understand why they have
trouble controlling the data registered at the 'sub.a.z' name.

My claim is that it is a "Registry Error" for the operator of the
registry for the 'z' domain to permit this to happen, as it
violates the basic idea of what a "delegation" means.

Implementations appear to be slightly inconsistent in whether
they expose or hide the sub.a.z. "delegation", a sample shows:

NSD 3.2.8       exposes
BIND 9.7.0-P2   hides
BIND 9.7.3-P1   hides
BIND 9.8.0-P4   exposes
ironDNS 1.0.1   exposes

I'm a little surprised that BIND apparently has regressed on
this...

"The actual names have been withheld to protect the guilty."

Regards,

- HÃ¥vard
