I'm not understanding the kinds of questions dnsadm@ needs to handle then. I thought the things they would need to handle are things like: - Please add "ftp13.freebsd.org" [where that doesn't exist yet] - ftp3.freebsd.org stopped carrying FreeBSD (and now the Admin there is no longer answering anyone's email) For those cases having a registered contact for that site is either premature (first case) or useless (second case). In the first case who decides whether a new mirror site is warranted? It seems like that leaves those kinds of decisions in the hands of dnsadm@. In the second case who has the authority to "revoke" ftp3.freebsd.org from the site that stopped carrying FreeBSD and shift it to something else? Could you give some examples of the sorts of questions/email/whatever that you want the system we design to take care of? -- Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@cse.buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel |
