I think this is sound advice, and I think the rest of John's suggestion is also a good one. There are enough confusing interpretations of DNS terminology around without adding to them. (As to John's suggestion for a "definitive" DNS terminology document, all I can say is that it's hard enough to herd the DNS cats on topics where everyone seems roughly in agreement. Getting consensus on such a definitive document strikes me as more like trying to herd Schrödinger's cats.) A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@shinkuro.com Shinkuro, Inc.
