Dear $VENDOR.

I'm a customer who is considering deploying the BULK RR type into my zone,
and I would like to know whether your systems support it.

Thank you,
$CUSTOMER.


That said.. there is still an issue with key distribution for online
signing which is required to make this work.   I see the utility in BULK,
but I'm persuaded that there needs to be more work before it's deployable
in an environment where *XFR is required.
