Actually I think your DNAME example solves any issues for me. If someone wanted to they could have _openpgpkey.foo.example. DNAME _email.foo.example. _smimecert.foo.example. DNAME _email.foo.example. which is quite neat and hopefully makes DNAME a more common RR. cheers Jay > > Olafur > >> cheers >> Jay >> >>> >>>> Joe >>>> >>>> >>>> _______________________________________________ >>>> dnsext mailing list >>>> [email protected] >>>> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsext >>> -- >>> Mark Andrews, ISC >>> 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia >>> PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: [email protected] >> >> >> -- >> Jay Daley >> Chief Executive >> .nz Registry Services (New Zealand Domain Name Registry Limited) >> desk: +64 4 931 6977 >> mobile: +64 21 678840 >> linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/jaydaley >> >> _______________________________________________ >> dnsext mailing list >> [email protected] >> https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsext -- Jay Daley Chief Executive .nz Registry Services (New Zealand Domain Name Registry Limited) desk: +64 4 931 6977 mobile: +64 21 678840 linkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/jaydaley _______________________________________________ dnsext mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsext
