I do not agree, I think it would be very useful to the European networking community to interact with RIPE-NCC only instead of having to interact with both RIPE-NCC and the US NIC I don't see the point in what Piet says: > > These actions would bring RIPE on the edge of interfering > with the responsabilities of the authoritative persons for > a given zone, be it for "forward" or reverse mapping.

If you "have only, say, 2 internal and the 2 external servers listed for foo.XX in the XX zone file" how could the RIPE-NCC script discover the other 8 internal servers? Looking in glass ball? ---------- ---------- Antonio_Blasco Bonito E-Mail: bonito at nis.garr.it GARR - Network Information Service c=it;a=garr;p=garr;o=nis;s=bonito c/o CNUCE - Istituto del CNR Tel: +39 (50) 593246 Via S.
