Objet: Spam: [AfriNIC-rpd] AfriNIC Whois Database Changes - 4-byte ASN andDNSSEC support


Dear colleagues, 

We are pleased to announce that AfriNIC now supports exclusively 
4-byte AS Numbers and shall not make any distinction between 2-byte 
only AS Numbers (ASDOT) and 4-byte only AS Numbers (ASPLAIN). As from 
now, AfriNIC will operate AS Number allocations from an 
undifferentiated 4-byte AS Number allocation pool. This feature has 
been implemented to be compliant with RFC5396 which deals with the 
Textual Representation of Autonomous System (AS) Numbers. 

More information can be obtained from: 
http://www.afrinic.net/docs/policies/AFPUB-2005-ASN-001.htm 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5396 

Moreover, AfriNIC will soon activate DNSSEC support on its DNS 
infrastructure including the IANA delegated reverse zones we manage. 
We have therefore implemented the "ds-rdata" attribute in the DOMAIN 
object of the Whois database. This will allow members to publish 
Delegation Signer (DS) records to build the chain of trust for their 
RDNS zones. 

More information can be obtained from: 
http://www.afrinic.net/dnssec 

Kind regards,
