But current best practice as defined by 2870 are for roots to only answer AXFRs from other roots. How can you advocate an OS pushing a configuration that isn't guaranteed to be functional? I understand the odds of it breaking, and I understand the benefits. That's not the issue. This is a configuration that should be guaranteed to work for 2 years after every OS release that includes it. -- Skip
