... And apparently I didn't understand your previous example as well
as I thought. I'm suggesting dnsadm@ do record keeping at the *zone*
level. *Not* host level. As you say it's distributed, if you wanted
to add in a new host for some special purpose dnsadm@ doesn't need to
know a thing about it. If the Mirror Site Coordinator happens to
remember nz.freebsd.org is delegated s/he doesn't *need* to contact
dnsadm@ and they can go straight to you. But if they forget that
nz.freebsd.org is delegated they can just send to dnsadm@ and it
will find its way to you. But if you're adding in an entire new
zone inside of nz.freebsd.org IMO it would be best if dnsadm@ be aware of it.
