This brings up the question of who is to be the owner
of a DNS entry.
Should it be the individual or group who asked for it to be added to
the DNS or should it be the coordinator who entered it? The former
would mean that hundreds of people would have to register with the
portal and take ownership of each of their entries. The latter would
mean that it would be up to the coordinators to keep track of who is
still active (or still alive!) and delete entries for people who are
no longer around. Neither is a satisfactory solution.
At least for Germany the latter should be considered as a satisfactory
solution. The German IP Coordination Team did a cleanup of the DNS
entries associated with the IP Pool from Germany quite a while ago.
During this process most individual allocations have been purged.
As of today most allocations are bound to repeater stations rather than
to individuals. Repeater stations serve users with dynamic IP addresses.
Permanent users can get static IPs and therefore can get a
<callsign>.ampr.org DNS entry, however if the repeater will die our
system will automatically flush this DNS entry again from the ampr.org
domain. I'm pretty sure the DNS information from Germany in the ampr.org
domain has a very good quality and is reflecting the real situation,
however there is not a single allocation within the Portal for
44.224/15. Therefore we don't like to become this as a requirement.
We use the Portal for direct-BGP and IPIP users on 44.130/16.
We submit almost daily a list of changes to the ampr.org domain through
the E-Mail Robot and actually hold 20% of all A records. We vote to
proceed with the suggested cleanup from Brian which will flush a lot of
A-records even without any call sign information (which therefore can't
even be tracked down to an individual). The cleanup would make us hold
34% of all records in the ampr.org domain.
