CURRENT_MEETING_REPORT_ Reported by Bill Manning/RICE Minutes of the Domain Name System Working Group (DNS) Agenda o Review proposed changes to RFC1348 o Shuffle and load averaging RR support o Large zones problems & policy o IDPR o DNS values set from SNMP RFC1348 Changes The draft clears up the reverse lookup method and adds the inclusion of Network Entity Titles. NSAP prefix storage appears to be unworkable without a seperate RR type. If this feature is desired, then a new RR may be added. The label NSAP-PTR needs to be corrected, since it is not a pointer. Bill will post the revised draft shortly after the IETF. IDPR They need a RR to lable an administrative domain or AD. The plan is to use a 32bit number. Rob will follow up and make sure this happens. Shuffle and Load Mimi described a problem that needs to query for load average of a logical cluster of machines. Mel and Walter both came back with two distinct ways to try and address this problem. Mimi will write up a draft that better covers the problem space. Large Zones Mike pointed out the problem with the com and edu zones. EDU We should recommend to the new NIC that following rule of thumb be used for new assignments in the EDU zone: o xxxx.edu - 4 year schools that issue masters/phd degrees or equivalent. o xxxx.state.country - 2 year schools or those that issue associate or bachelor degrees. o xxxx.k12.state.country - pre-collage The COM domain is still a problem. We might recommend the second level 1 be assigned an industry type. The prblem would also be helped by distributing the servers off root platforms. MIB: IESG to decide on Propsed Standard this week. The discussion regarding setting values via SNMP will be discussed on the list. Scott will lead the charge here.
