[DNSOP] Fwd: I-D Action: draft-pappas-dnsop-long-ttl-04.txt

Hey everyone,

We have resurrected our draft Improving DNS Service Availability by Using Long TTL Values, and added some new polish to it.  We've taken some feedback from various people and would love to hear any thoughts other people have.

Thanks!

Eric

>   Due to the hierarchical tree structure of the Domain Name System
>   [RFC1034][RFC1035], losing all of the authoritative servers that

>   setting long TTL values for NS records and their associated A and
>   AAAA records.  Our proposed changes are purely operational and can be
>   deployed incrementally.
