The point we (at least I am) are trying to make is that "Hey, it is fine to use whatever [server|zone] replication mechanism, but we believe that only AXFR and other methods that use DNS messages like IXFR are on-topic for this forum." It is not a judgement -- I for one am using ftp for one of the zones I slave -- but more of a stay-on-topic requirement. The dnsop wg has a mailing list, which probably is the better IETF forum for this, but I do believe that the topic of "how to replicate DNS data out of band" is best at home in a systems administration forum, of which there are a multitude. IF you believe that AXFR is so broken that it needs to be replaced with something completely different, then find out a method, write a draft and make it so good that we all see that this is the future. THAT would be on-topic. Regards, -- Måns Nilsson Systems Specialist +46 70 681 7204 KTHNOC MN1334-RIPE We're sysadmins. To us, data is a protocol-overhead.
