AW: nsupdate: A records (glue) in reverse zones

[Kevin Darcy]

Never say never. What's stopping someone from naming a nameserver 
ns1.96.130.in-addr.arpa, for instance? Reverse zones are not, after all, 
*inherently* different from any other kind of zones; A records and 
delegations are eminently permissible in the in-addr.arpa tree.

                                                                         
               - Kevin
