Re: Interim signing of the root zone. (fwd)
documentation for -an- experiment. an experimental setup has existed and been running for over 2 years. Signing the root zone in this testbed has been operational for three months, nearly as long as ther has been DS capable code. I remain leary of experimentation with the live system. ... So... why are we considering experimenting with the live, production root system at this time? IMHO, this is lunacy. We have a working, experimental system in play where most (all) of these issues can be tested. Folks that have serious commercial interests in a stable system will not be amused when we start experimenting with the systems that they depend on. % Olafur So, who is playing in this experimental testbed? some of the root operators - holding the experimental root some of the tld holders - com, net, org, nl, mil, int are all signed some third/fourth level zones we have already uncovered fatal interactions with signed zones and 9.2.1 caching servers. Indications of simialr failures with v8 caching servers are being evaluated. Its rougly outlined in http://www.isi.edu/otdr and has been testing IPv6 transport for the last three years. If there are folks who wish to participate, please let me know and we can provide the "bits" needed to for active participation. --bill
