I like this idea, it would be the simplest way to keep DNS namespacing clean and is in the
spirit of how DNS was originally envisioned to work. There's obviously legacy
allocations that do not follow this format, and we'd have to come up with a policy to
address those. CNAMEs are an option, but they will break things like MX and TXT records if
I recall correctly. An alternative that I've thought of is putting the controlling
call sign in a TXT record for every host in the database.
Thanks,

I think that using the hierarchy type of domain
name is logical.
Something like hotel-dieux.ve2cbs.ampr.org
where hotel-dieux is the site name ve2cbs is the club callsign and the rest is obvious.
This would be the real dns name I would use for the club I am the secretary and technical
support.
But after that being said. Who would be able to control those dns? There should be a way
to ID the tecnical support staff for the club call sign and those named as technical
support be able to do the dns for the club.
In fact even a single user should be able to point another user as able to control the
dns section of his/her allocation in case they are both sharing the same ip space for
whatever reason, or the first does not know enough or understand enough to do it all.
Right now, the portal supports the concept of an organization that
provides this functionality, albeit not in its fully elaborated form
yet. But the ideas of multiple users associated with an organization,
and assigning some sort of role-like permissions to those users, are
there now.
What's missing is decoupling the idea of an organization from a
specific user (I think) and allowing existing users to become
affiliated with an organization, as opposed to creating new user
accounts that are conceptually "owned" by the organization.
