[as112-ops] News for AS112 operators

[William F. Maton Sotomayor]

All,
 	Just a couple of updates you all should be aware of.  There are now two 
IETF drafts that have passed working group last call and are in IESG review. 
They are:

draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc6304bis

Updates include some new advice and IPv6, plus the inclusion of DNAME 
redirection which addresses the problem of how to get all AS112 operators to 
update their configs whenever a new reverse zone goes in.

draft-ietf-dnsop-as112-dname

Speaking of DNAME, this draft describes the implementation of DNAME in AS112 
nodes and doesn't go further into specifying what zones should be redirected at 
AS112 nodes.

While general comment is a bit late for both of these, I don't believe it's 
beyond the realm of possibility to fix glaring errors (philosophical and 
operational) if the respective authors of both drafts are forewarned.  (Some of 
them lurk here.)

Obviously once approved and actually implemented, things are going to get 
interesting.  The one thing I do forsee is the increase in packet traffic, but 
it would be nice to get more of you to post stats to track for that in advance 
of DNAME deployment.

When would DNAME deployment take place?  Ah, stay tuned....

Thanks,
