    <p>Some background - I've been involved with the CO.ZA registration
      system for about 23 years. Our policy was to only allow a new
      delegation into the zones once the nameservers were all
      authoritative - i.e. Don't add broken stuff.</p>
    <p>I'm now looking after another smaller zone and although I still
      follow the manta of not adding broken stuff, I'm finding that
      there are lame Delegations so I will be adding automated periodic
      checks and informing people when there are problems.<br>

        I don’t agree with authors saying it will be effective, because
        as one of our fellows from other RIRs, it would be hard to
        correctly define a lame as a lame. It’s not because others have
        0 lames that it’s effective. Their LIRs/End-Users/techs may be

    For ARIN to do this is difficult, as ARIN has inherited a lot of
    Legacy users - often without correct contact information. This is
    not the case for AFRINIC.<br>

    No, its more than that. One point not brought up and emphasised is

    I'm sure the algorithm would be something like that.<br>
    Check. if broken - re-check after 2 days, then four days, then eight
