Discussion List for Freenum/ITAD Subscriber Number (ISN) Project

["Peter Grace" <>]

John,

Will you be delegating this to the people who host their own isn records?  For instance, I have 739.freenum.org.  Will you also be delegating 
739.info.freenum.org to me or will you be keeping the directory hosted at freenum?

Pete

FYI: the new "directory" element is now in the DNS zones for each
<itad>.info.freenum.org zone.

The new zone should be distributed in the next half-hour or so.  So
far, only four entries, and none of them valid.   Start coding!  :-)

Example:
; new format dns entry
$ORIGIN 256.info.freenum.org.
