Re: Nameserver as object/entity or not ?
Kent, I concure. Making nameservers into first class objects isn't a given, as the dependency relationship between nameservers objects and domain objects mandates a contention mechanism. Performing bulk ops on domain objects using a nameserver object as a key is a convience funtion, nice but no more necesary than any other built-in iterator/aggregator operator. The edge cases that occur to me are deletion, when a nameserver object has no domains object dependencies, and creation. Neither special case requires a general promotion of the nameserver object to a first class object. Cheers, Eric
