Dear fellow WG members, I have just submitted a new version of the "very long" document (the last in our trilogy) to the Internet Drafts archive. The name will be draft-koch-ripe-dns-setup-guide-01.txt. Please note that the version currrently available with that name is only the expiration notice for the "00" version submitted last February. Until the document will have shown up at the ID-archive and its mirrors you'll find a copy with this URL: http://www.TechFak.Uni-Bielefeld.DE/~pk/dns/draft-koch-ripe-dns-setup-guide-01.txt.gz Changes are mostly editorial and filling some gaps (those marked TBD earlier). I have now put in some words about IPv6, DNSSEC and IDN. The first three sections should be complete now, some text is still missing for the reverse mapping and 'popular mistakes' sections. What I'd like to discuss next week (if there's a time slot available): o Status of and further roadmap for the document Especially in the light of DNSSEC and, even more, IDN, it seems a bit difficult to prepare a single, fixed document to inform the target audience. A living document, i.e. a ``web site'' would be better and more up to date - if there's someone/somegroup periodically taking care. I think the IETF's experience with the "weird" wg teach some lesson here. On the other hand, just pointing everyone to the DNS resources directory and the IETF to find ``everything'' is not a helpful advice IMHO. o How to perform the "Grandma test"? Should we decide to go on with this document it should be exposed to some target audience people and *feedback* be collected and reported. Volunteers? Here are two further suggestions for the agenda: o Review of RIPE 203 Has anyone successfully referred customers to this document? Are their any changes suggested/needed? o DNS traffic and ~ distribution Does anyone have recent data on what percentage of backbone traffic is DNS traffic and how this DNS share is split between e.g. RR types? -Peter
