<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>With BIND 9, if the MNAME resolves to multiple A
records and "notify yes" is specified, do notifies get withheld from all
specified NS destinations that resolve to any of the addresses associated with
the MNAME? Or do notifies only get withheld from NS destinations whose
fqdn's mnemonically match the MNAME field?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2><BR></FONT>Has it
been decided yet for BIND 10 how the multiple masters will be
specified?</FONT></DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Will BIND 10 follow Microsoft's lead
where the MNAME in each zone is set to match the server name on which
the zone resides? </FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>Or might the MNAME be
allowed to have multiple A records to give dynamic DNS clients more than one
choice?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone know how existing Microsoft DNS client
code reacts to having the MNAME resolve to multiple A records? What about
non-Microsoft DNS client codes?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does Microsoft DNS client code ever use any other
DDNS target identifier other than the MNAME? I know some old codes used
the NS records and/or the client's resolver list, but it is my understanding
that both of those techniques have been completely abandoned -- does anyone
believe otherwise? And are there any other techniques used by Microsoft
that perhaps I've never heard of -- anyone know?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Does anyone have any other interesting information
about BIND 10 with respect to multi-master dynamic zone
functionality?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks.</FONT></DIV>
