OT: Verisign and the Internet Architecture Board

[Antony Stone]

Hi people.

Interesting (and quite instructive) document published yesterday by the
Internet Architecture Board regarding the use of DNS wildcards:

http://www.iab.org/documents/docs/2003-09-20-dns-wildcards.html

"In particular, we recommend that DNS wildcards should not be used in a zone
unless the zone operator has a clear understanding of the risks, and that
they should not be used without the informed consent of those entities which
have been delegated below the zone. "

Looks promising to me.

Antony.
