Dear colleagues
This is an important announcement on the implementation of APNIC approved proposal prop-004-v001 regarding the testing and removal of lame DNS reverse delegations.
The proposal document, presentation, minutes, and discussion are available at:
http://www.apnic.net/docs/policy/proposals/prop-004-v001.html
* Testing for lame DNS reverse delegations now underway _______________________________________________________
On 30 September 2004, APNIC commenced formal implementation of the lame DNS reverse delegation procedures.
DNS reverse delegations are considered lame if the registered DNS name servers are unreachable or badly configured. This can cause several problems across the Internet.
The APNIC Secretariat is now testing all reverse DNS delegations under its management. The procedures involve a 15 day test period to identify potentially lame delegations, followed by a 45 day period of further tests and attempts to resolve problems and notify administrators. Any name server delegations which remain persistently lame after this period may be disabled. Only the name server delegations will be withdrawn for lameness, not the domain itself. If delegations are disabled, APNIC will send monthly reminders to the registered administrators until the problems are resolved.
* What does this mean for administrators of reverse DNS domains? ________________________________________________________________
Please be sure to keep your contact information up to date in the APNIC Whois Database. If the APNIC Secretariat identifies any problems with your reverse DNS, you will be contacted at your registered address with information about how to resolve the problems.
