Although I have never had to use glue in our reverse domain delegations
(it is perhaps a bit perverse to give NSs names in the reverse tree at
all), I have been trying to nudge our forward zone providers towards
thinking of the glue IPs for one NS as a *set*, rather than denormalised
in the style of Anand's text. Without any notable success so far... :-(
