All things related to multicast

["David Farmer" <>]

Matt,

We got our's delegated a long time ago for much the same reason, to 
normalize managements of assignments.  But, I just talked to Scott Bertilson 
and he said something about some of the roots having lame or different 
information.  MAybe, Scott can provide details.  

Bill,

Are you still delegating GLOP in-addr.arpa?

Thanks.
