Re: [44net] Verifying the identities of IP coordinators - 44net

      My guess would be that it's not a DNS server load issue but more of an
administrative / architecture issue.  If stale/abandoned entries are not
purged, it makes the task of design and coordination a tad more difficult
since new hosts/networks have to work around the already assigned ones.

I ask again 
What is so important to clean  the DNS  from all the amount of unused
hosts ? is it  a matter  of load on the  DNS that result in a slow response
?
or any other effect im not aware of ? 
The only thing i can think of is making zone transfer of big file  twice a
day   but in this days transferring  even 10 MegaByte   file  each day
consider nothing 
Maybe Brian can answer this ?
However to answer your question
Authorized users can change the  DNS  data  there is a format needed to be
sent in the  email that the robot know to inter-prate something  
such as   :  <host name >  <add or delete> <what kind of  record should it
be  (MX A  etc)>  <Ip adress>
you send  each host as a  single line and you can more then one line    
Since the robot have a  format checking mechanism you dont have to be a DNS
expert in order to add or delete hosts  
specially if you want only to add  host name and not complex things  such as
MX records or CNAME

1. What information must a coordinator send to the ampr.org DNS to
   create/modify a listing?
2. Is there a standard entry format for the information a coordinator
   sends in, or is it parsed by hand?
4. Is it possible for me to reformat the existing files, knowing
   little about DNS?
