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

Hey list,

So far, we have not gotten a huge amount of feedback on this draft (but thank you _very_much_ to those that have responded).  I think we were really hoping that people could take a look at the draft and comment before Paris.  It focuses on how resolvers that query large TLD registries can maintain connectivity during sustained outages at the root (such as from DDoS attacks). While it may seem topical to some, we were hoping that some of the distinctions and practices in this draft would be useful in general (such as the distinction of Infrastructure RR types).

We would all very much appreciate any feedback from the list, thanks!
