Jim, if we believe hyper local root has benefits which outweigh its complexity costs [noting: I do not] then timeliness, authenticity, and network load are still vital. Dnssec and ixfr must therefore also be vital. This would justify fine tuning of the dnssec part in order to optimize the ixfr part. I respect your caution but we have already thrown caution to the wind on this topic. Paul Vixie

Optimising for root zone ixfrs is all very well in the abstract and I > recognise it's at least a theoretical problem. But would it make a material > difference? >
