Re: [wg-c] INT domain



Huh? what has the Internet's belly button got to do with this query, Kevin?

FYI, ip6.int is an active domain on the Internet, not a "work in progress" :

Query: ip6.int. Query type: Any record
Recursive query: Yes Authoritative answer: Yes
Query time: 16508 ms. Server name: n/a

Answer:
ip6.int. 86400 NS munnari.oz.au.
ip6.int. 86400 NS imag.imag.fr.
ip6.int. 86400 NS ns.isi.edu.
ip6.int. 86400 NS dot.ep.net.
ip6.int. 129600 SOA dot.ep.net.
hostmaster.ep.net.
1925627 ; serial
10800 ; refresh (3 hours)
900 ; retry (15 minutes)
604800 ; expire (7 days)
129600 ; minimum (1 day, 12 hours)

Additional:
munnari.oz.au. 82941 A 128.250.1.21
munnari.oz.au. 82941 A 128.250.22.2
imag.imag.fr. 218592 A 129.88.30.1
ns.isi.edu. 86400 A 128.9.128.127
dot.ep.net. 86400 A 198.32.2.10

Just to keep the record on this straight, and not to digress *anymore* please from the tasks in front of WG-C <smile>
