Oh, interesting.

In a sense, a glue record with the same owner name as a zone cut could be equivalent to a glue record with an owner name that is subordinate to a zone cut. I don't have enough of the spec in my head to know why they would definitively be different from the protocol perspective. I realise it's not normal, but I don't know that it's prohibited.

I definitely don't know operationally how different DNS or registrar software implementations treat that case. I don't think the registry systems I'm familiar with allow host and domain objects with the same name to coexist, but I realise I could quite well be wrong.

If I had any more energy to spend at the keyboard today I might be tempted to find out :-)
