True; but it's their choice. I don't think anybody's suggesting ISPs must do it. If I choose to use such a naming scheme for my delegations then it's up to me to make sure it works. The problem now is that even though it's perfectly legal and reasonable there are RIRs that won't let me do it. > Does anyone who administers a lot of IP space have strong feelings on > this issue? Yes; if there is any RIR that can't/won't put glue A records into IN-ADDR.ARPA zones in cases where such glue should be there (thereby preventing the use of in-zone nameservers for the NS records) that constitutes a problem that needs to be fixed. Whether or not DNS administrators choose to use such a naming/delegation scheme is entirely irrelevant.
