[ipv6-wg at ripe.net] DNS Weather Report 2004-09-07

DNS WEATHER REPORT for selected infrastructure zones
====================================================
Issue 2004-09-07

Zones analyzed and their SOA contacts:
- .             
- arpa.         nstld at verisign-grs.com
- int.          noc at icann.org
- in-addr.arpa  bind at arin.net
- ip6.arpa.     hostmaster at icann.org
- ip6.int.      hostmaster at ep.net

Operators: please let me know wether you do want a copy when there's
no problem with your zone(s) or not. Don't want to annoy anyone
unnecessarily!

Some people have approached me wether it would be possible to receive
personal copies of the report. Please let me know wether you are
interested in such a service yourself. If there is enough interest,
I will set up a distro list for that.

Executive summary:
* the IP6.ARPA problems regarding delegation NS RRset got fixed!
* ns.isi.edu is _still_ out of sync for the INT zone.
* ns.isi.edu is _still_ auth for IP6.INT where it shouldn't be.


The state of the root zone
===========================
fine!

The state of the ARPA zone
==========================
fine!

The state of the INT zone
=========================
- ns.isi.edu is not in sync with the other nameservers
  Current SOA serial of the INT TLD: 2004090400,
  ns.isi.edu has still 2002080104 and is publishing
  stale data (e.g. an old NS RRset for the zone).

  Problem exists since at least 2004-08-24

The state of the IN-ADDR.ARPA zone
==================================
fine!

The state of the IP6.ARPA zone
==============================
fine!

The state of the IP6.INT zone
=============================
- ns.isi.edu (one of the INT TLD servers) feels authoritative for the
  IP6.INT zone, but is neither listed in the delegation NS RRset, nor
  in the in-zone NS RRset of IP6.INT.
  Luckily, ns.isi.edu carries ip6.int with the same SOA serial as the
  official servers, so induces no operational problems so far.

  Problem exists since at least 2004-08-24
