> Goal:
>
> Reduce the size of the IN-ADDR.ARPA zone file. This file will be reduced
> in size by only containing name servers for /8 networks.
>
>
> Completed Steps:
>
> Apr 2001 - Established relationships with 2 companies to provide
> independent server networks for all ARIN IN-ADDR zone files.
>
> Jun 2001 - Released a new IN-ADDR.ARPA zone file generator to correct
> existing erroneous data.
>
>
> Next Step:
>
> July 9, 2001 - ARIN will begin revising the IN-ADDR.ARPA zone for those
> direct /8 delegations to ARIN.  These /8 zone files will be serviced by
> the two ARIN nameserver networks.  These changes will not affect the
> performance of reverse lookup in any of the IPv4 Address space.
