  Without commenting on the rest of it:

------
3.1 Designation Record Template

The template for the DNS records is:

      ${IPS}.${IPV}.relays._email_.${DOMAIN}.   IN   ${TYPE}   ${IP}

   With:

   ${IPS}
      The textual representation of the IP address.
------

  that would be better with it as the *reverse* of the address.  This
allows DNS administrators to better deal with address ranges.  At
which point, it's very similar to:

  http://ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-fecyk-dsprotocol-03.txt


  In addition, it suffers from the same DNS related problems as RMX,
and draft-fecyk-dsprotocol-03.txt.  This isn't to say it's broken,
it's just imperfect.
