I'd be happy to use the email robot to update my own dns...... But last
I heard it was available to coordinators only and I've never seen a
description of howto use it published at least widely enough that it was
seen by the amprnet masses. I can also see security issues with such.
I've been asking for DNS zone deligation both forward and reverse for
years, and I would fully support such a move. It seems that the case
for transfering the entire ampr.org zone is over rated and could still
be done by crawling the DNS tree, but why? if you are off line and
disconnected you only need DNS for your subnet anyway as you won't be
able to reach anything else DNS or not.

I don't think it is that great, because it makes it impossible to
simply transfer the entire DNS
zone to a local server and have faster DNS lookups independent of an
internet connection.
But it works, I guess...
IMHO it would be better to offer a DNS update API, where everyone can
update their own host
records in an easily automated way. It of course exists in the form of
the mail robot and also
the web DNS editor but apparently some people think it is not good
enough.
(I use the mail robot myself as part of an automated update)

Just thought of this this morning, and was
wondering if we could have
a DNS delegation system for hams off of ampr.org or another domain
name?
Something like:
af7sj.ampr.org ns myprimary.dns.server
af7sj.ampr.org ns mysecondary.dns.server
In my ideal deal world there would be a .radio TLD... or a .44net
tld... But would it make sense to offer any ham out there a DNS
subdomain based on their call? For those that want to limit access
that could also become part of their checks, i.e. does the forward and
backward DNS resolve to a subdomain.ampr.org domain?
