i'm not mark, but i'd like to speak on a related topic. by design, queries that result in RFC 1918 addresses, and queries for RFC 1918 PTR names, were to be intercepted by local resolvers. let me know if you can't access DNS-OARC's DITL archives, which will show you how prominent both kinds those queries loom in actual root name service load. i predict that foo.bar.<homenetlabel> will do likewise, whatever its design. this is the one saving grace in asking for a real root zone delegation: we can add an NS pointing to localhost, and try to get subsequent queries to go to heck rather than to the root servers. vixie _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
