[db-wg] Follow-up Announcement - Redirecting Reverse DNS Updates

[RIPE Database Manager <]

Dear Colleagues,

As an amendment to our previous announcement "Redirecting Reverse DNS 
Updates", 4 December 2003, we would like to make clear that updates for 
domain objects whose "domain:" attributes end with 'in-addr.arpa', 
'ip6.arpa OR 'ip6.int' will be redirected to auto-inaddr@localhost.

Please do not hesitate to contact ripe-dbm@localhost for questions, 
comments or suggestions.

Regards,
