[DBWG] duplicate domain objects

[Frank Habicht]

Hi AfriNIC Staff,

found this in the DB:

domain:         196.163.in-addr.arpa.

Are domain objects with a dot ('.') at the end legal in the DB?
Are they ignored when the version without the dot also exists?

I believe we shouldn't have both of these in the DB.

Would disallowing and deleting all domain objects ending with 'arpa\.'
resolve this issue?

Thanks,
Frank
