Of course. My original question objective was trying to know if RIPE
wants to take this one more little step. Saying its easy, and not doing it
doesnt make things go forward... :-)
As i am not fully aware of all the consequences that could result from
inserting the AAAA record in the net. zone, i tried to state my question
carefully. :-)
But this raises me one more question: Does someone know if there are *any*
AAAA (glue-)records on that/(similar) zone(s) yet?
