But they get told to do EPP to talk to the registries. They have failed to invent / document a common standard way for machine updates to work. They could have quite easily got together anytime in the last decade and done a standardised update protocol. But they haven't. We working in behalf of their customers who are our customers have to work out a machine-to-machine protocol which will do the job. I have customers saying make "DNSSEC simpler". One of the ways to make it simpler is to automate the updating of records in the parent zone / parent registry. We already have a mechanism to do this for a plain parent zone. We also have customers that are going to have machines that are not CPE devices renumbered because ISP's will not guarentee stable addresses with PD. This leads to the requirement that one needs to update glue addresses. We already have a mechanism to do this when they parent is a plain nameserver. It's easy enough to translate delete-type add add to JASON { "name" : "example.net", "DS" : [ { "rdata" : "...." }, { "rdata" : "...." } ] } (yes a better jason schema that this is needed but again that is something that need to be standardised.) If one says "always send 'delete type' followed by all the records that should exist" which is the type of UPDATE operations I would recommend being done by these tools. The tool could even enforce it. It's also easy to translate from Jason to UPDATE.
