[AfriNIC-announce] AFRINIC ACCEPTING DS IN SIGNED RDNS ZONES

[ALAIN AINA]

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to inform you that  we have completed phase 2 (https://lists.afrinic.net/pipermail/announce/2012/000848.html ) and implemented phase 3  of our DNSSEC deployment plan.

Phase 3 involves getting DS records of AFRINIC RDNS zones  into the "ip6.arpa" and "in-addr.arpa" zones and  processing  DS records into  these zones. 

Effective  Monday 14th May  2012,  AFRINIC RDNS provisioning systems  will accept and sign DS records in domain objects from the whois database.

This includes  prefixes for zones delegated to us by IANA  as well as ERX  prefixes for zones delegated to other RIRs except the following:

163.in-addr.arpa
200.in-addr.arpa
202.in-addr.arpa

If you have any comments or questions, please contact: dnssec-ops at afrinic.net
