Maybe these oddball DNS names should "include" the callsign somewhere.
I do personally know of an instance in 2005/2006 where there were some
non-amateur servers in North America using 44 addresses!
the DNS functionality is a separate module and is not
tied to the name of
the IP/subnet, not everyone uses their callsign as the DNS name
But that is a license requirement! We need a mapping between IP address
and callsign for legal use of IP on amateur radio....
(ID requirement)
Perhaps in the US, I don't know, I'm from the UK, not every country has such
licence requirements. Have you looked at the
ampr.org hosts file recently?
There are a lot of A records mapping 44/8 IPs that are clearly not based on
callsigns.
We are also allocating subnets out to people experimenting with BGP
announcements and other projects that will require more flexible arrangements.
