I think it would be easier to clarify the existing rules and encourage people to follow them rather than inventing new flags that are unlikely ever to be implemented. For the particular case of partial glue on referrals, so long as the packet has all of the answer records, it's never wrong to go ahead and use the glue it's got. What would a flag do? _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
