Re: Fields in DS record

It's used elsewhere in the specs (SIG record) it seems useful. I have some problems with the size parameter. AFAIK It is not used elsewhere in the DNSSPEC specs and I have some problems finding its definition in the RFCs (You refer to the 'algorithm' RFCs for the size of the public keys but I have a hard time actually finding them). --Olaf
