Re: [DNSOP] New Version Notification for draft-pusateri-dnsop-update-timeout-00.txt

Right; my question is, is this an operational problem people are having
IRL?   If it is, then it makes sense to do something about it.   If it's
not, it doesn't.   I've never seen people do what you're describing in
practice; that's why I'm asking.   And we definitely agree that there needs
to be a cleanup process; the question is, does it have to be done this
way.   E.g., if the lease isn't part of the zone, is that actually a
problem?   Does the lease *need* to be part of the zone transfer, or is it
enough that the primary has it?   For my part, it seems unnecessary for the
secondaries to have it, since they can't update the zone anyway.   As long
as the primary remembers that there's a lease, the right thing will happen.
