Note that as has been pointed out again and again on this list, Mr.
Pollard's scheme leaks namespace and is, in fact, a blueprint for how to
engage in cache poisoning. Please do not follow his examples- they
provide no discernable benefit over the standard method of doing this,
and in fact inject harm, breaking some resolvers that erroneously believe bogus authority claims.

If rfc2317 itself is confusing to you, there is a fairly simple summary at

Or contact me off-list and I'd be happy to help you out.
