Since year 2000 and the initial release of Active Directory that has as a matter of fact happened. The typing argument has always been valid from a design perspective; now there is an operational requirement. /Måns, whose $dayjob includes running AD DNS, but using BIND and Unbound. -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE +46 705 989668 Does someone from PEORIA have a SHORTER ATTENTION span than me?
