Subject: [dns-wg] DNS Lameness statistics and notifications
Message-ID: <48919F2E.5010002@ripe.net>

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
DNS Services Group
The RIPE NCC

Could you delay this a bit?  Yet another type of DNS-related
notification doesn't really help right now, I think.

Or am I overly sensitive?
