use of a single RR has almost never been a good idea...
not since RIPE first split out of the RABD, 13 years ago.
that said, several of the RIR's are planning/testing a
new suite of tools to do crypto-authentication of route objects
(the IETF SIDR work). APNIC might be in beta as early as
this year and I think ARIN will be doing some trial work
in 2h09. ostensibly, this will be a much stronger toolset
on which to base route accuracy/acceptance. You might
want to ask about it at the upcoming ARIN mtg in LA... Its
right after the NANOG mtg.
