Don't forget names resolved locally with the DNS Protocol, like 1.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa. A lot of the names you describe as "toxic waste" are likely resolved this way. On Fri, Sep 16, 2016 at 2:13 PM, John Levine wrote: > >The drafts are: > > https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-tldr-

Split horizon is another thing. I'm talking about locally resolved zones (RFC 6303). I see that as a kind of split horizon. One of the problems with the toxic waste is that we don't know how much of it is from names that are supposed to be resolved locally but escaped (much of .corp I would

Section 4.1.2 of the tldr document actually says almost exactly what you said in your four-pronged strategy, but without the pejorative bit. However, it only talks about this in the case of special-use names, not in the case of names generally. I certainly generally agree with the taxonomy you're

Hm, possibly what you mean is that it's not mentioned explicitly enough. I think the document covers the problem in quite a bit of detail, but the private domains stuff is mostly in the history section; I could understand if you felt that this provided insufficient clarity. On Fri, Sep 16, 2016 at
