In its present form that will work, and is being discussed on the razor
list (DNS implementation would be orthogonal to C/perl implementation).
However razor is looking at other hash forms, and possibly a more
interactive checking system, which would not (as) easily integrate into
DNS.
The biggest problem with razor at present is the lack of vetting of
input, and some form of input validation is essential if razor is to be
more than a curiosity - for example at present it appears all BUGTRAQ
postings are being entered into the razor database and for while last
week this happened to the razor list itself.
