A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the Domain Name Server Operations Working Group of the IETF.
Title : IP Addresses that should never appear in the public
DNS
Author(s) : P. Hazel
Filename : draft-ietf-dnsop-dontpublish-unreachable-00.txt
Pages :
Date : 07-Sep-01
This document specifies an Internet Best Current Practice for the
Internet Community. It prohibits the appearance of private IP
addresses in publicly visible DNS records. It also prohibits the
appearance of public addresses, or indirect references to them, when
the service implied by the address or reference is inaccessible from
the public Internet. Specifying the second prohibition is more
difficult because inaccessibility may arise from many causes, some
possibly legitimate.

In the body type:

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
