</span>I think I disagree that ignoring the protocol in two different ways is<br>
"better" than just doing what the protocol says to do.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>It's not ignoring the protocol to implement some basic safety checking, it's completely valid to refuse a zone transfer because it may result in expected behavior; a slave shouldn't accept DNSSEC records if it doesn't have the ability to serve them correctly either. Otherwise the zone may end up black-holed. Much better to ask an administrator to intervene and fix the situation. </div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature">Colm</div>
