I did a google search on in-addr.arpa delegation for GLOP addresses and the only thing relevant that turned up was an email from Bill Nickless to this same list in January of 2001. There was no answer to his email on the list.

Has anyone been able to get the in-addr.arpa domain for their GLOP address delegated to them ? It appears that ep.net is authoritative for 233.in-addr.arpa and therefore they would need to delegate these. I tried contacting them a couple of times in 2004, but never received a response.

Does anyone else see value in having these delegated to their servers ? The reason I want to do this is that I'd like to leverage our existing process for requesting static IPs (ie sending a request to our DNS admins) to assign multicast group addresses. It would be nice (although probably not absolutely required) if we could insert in- addr.arpa entries for them.

Thanks !
