[db-wg] Authoritative check for domain objects seems to cache nameserver response

Dear colleagues, When creating domain objects for reverse DNS delegation of a RIPE assigned inetnum or inet6num, I have observed behaviour where entering a nameserver not authoritative for the in-addr.arpa or ip6.arpa zone results in that nameserver being temporarily unable to be used for delegation. The interface keeps rejecting that particular nameserver for the reason of 'not being authoritative for <zone>', even if the nameserver's configuration has been updated accordingly. What I personally suspect is happening here is that the service on the backend of RIPE NCC's database has sent a DNS request to the specified nameserver, received a response, and cached it. I'm writing this email to ask a couple of questions: Is this intended behaviour? if it is, should it perhaps be changed? and if so, how should changes be implemented? I'm excited to hear back from you, especially as many colleagues within the networking space have expressed frustration from forgetting to configure their nameservers first or misconfiguring them and then having to wait a day or two to re-do the delegation. I had tried my best to search the db-wg list archives for a similar discussion before writing this entry but could find nothing of substance, please forgive me if this has been discussed before and perhaps decided on :) Best, -- Kjartan, AS51019 +354 784-0020 kjh14 at hi.is
