If it is on the IETF standards track, *and* it is used, and Dan Bernstein refuses to implement it, djbdns has a significant disadvantage. > Would RFC 2317 > <URL:http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2317.txt>; be around if BIND wasn't? Yes. RFC 2317 describes a way to perform classless in-addr.arpa delegation. This is important due to CIDR. The fact that BIND zone file syntax is used in the examples does *not* mean that this is in any way tied to BIND. > I don't > see any RFC's specific to Sendmail's sendmail.cf format (and subsequent > "standards track" documents to get around its deficiencies). If you think that's the point of RFC 2317, I'd say you have misunderstood it rather badly.
