dun't matter if it is stupid or not. dun't really matter if requiring PTRs for mail servers, VPN servers, etc is stupid or not. What matters is that "Many SSH servers (by default) reject connections from IP addresses without PTRs" and that many mail servers require PTRs and that fluffy bunny servers require PTRs. You, me, everybody in DNSOP (or the entire IETF for that matter) deciding it is stupid doesn't change what Billy Joe's mailserver does. > I heard applause during the WG meeting in response to these statements; > sounded like consensus to me. I said I would check that consensus on list. I think that there is consensus that it is stupid. There is also consensus that using a fork to get the stuck toast out of the toaster is a bad idea -- however....

This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of pants. ---maf _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
