Re: [DNSOP] WGLC for draft-ietf-dnsop-let-localhost-be-localhost-02

[Petr Špaček <[e-mail]>]

Oh, wait, I just realized one question:

What about reverse zones for "localhost" addresses specified in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6303#section-4.2
https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6303#section-4.3

It seems to me that it should be handled in similar way, i.e. answered
with NXDOMAIN.

RFC 6303 says that we should have empty domain for it, but this part is
confusing:
   The recommendation to serve an empty zone 127.IN-ADDR.ARPA is not an
   attempt to discourage any practice to provide a PTR RR for
   1.0.0.127.IN-ADDR.ARPA locally.

PTR is DNS-specific term, so I'm not sure if it is clumsy expression for
"stub should hardcode the answer" or something else.
