[dns-wg] DNS Lameness statistics and notifications

[Sjoerd Oostdijck sjoerdoo@localhost]

Dear Colleagues,

In January 2007, RIPE Document ripe-400 was created to address lameness
in the reverse DNS tree. This RIPE Document can be found online at:
http://www.ripe.net/ripe/docs/ripe-400.html

We have been monitoring name servers for some time now and statistics
from the data gathered have been published online each month at:
http://www.ripe.net/info/stats/dns-lameness/

We are now ready to start sending out notifications to the maintainers
of these zones, alerting them to a problem. The e-mail messages will
point  to the DNS Lameness FAQs, which explain the possible problems and
give some pointers to help solve them.

The FAQs can be found online at:
http://www.ripe.net/info/stats/dns-lameness/faq.html

Initially, we will send less then 100 e-mails to various contacts. This
number will increase over the following months until all maintainers
with lame servers are contacted.

Kind regards,

Sjoerd Oostdijk
