Like: The term "glue" is sometimes incorrectly used to refer to other resource records in a parent zone that are related to a delegation, such as address records included with a referral which are not strictly necessary due to the server's domain name falling below the zone cut, the authoritative delegation (NS), or the delegation signer (DS). This could help newcomers to the DNS to understand what they're reading when they encounter terms like "NS glue", but it still stakes out a clear definition of the word.This seems like a good addition. We would like the terminology draft to be both definitions of terms and common mis-definitions. Do others have thoughts on Evan's proposed addition?
Removing my hat as chair, I personally like Evan's additions. tim _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
