Hiya,

I really like this idea. Many ISPs already do this, (including some high 
profile public recursives, like Google and OpenDNS), because it simply makes 
sense: It reduces latency for the end user, reduces outbound traffic overhead, 
eliminates an attack vector.

This specific document shouldn’t be a discussion point at all. Folks are doing 
this right now. What we need is a BCP that describes: IFF you are going to do 
it, here is how.

I would also like to see some facilitation around this as well: a notify 
service of new versions, a zone distribution service (xfer service), possibly 
out of ICANN or VeriSign.

Personally, I’m interested in what operators of large recursives have to say 
about this. 

Hope this helps.

Roy
