Changeling writes "According to Matt Larson, a representative of VeriSign Naming and Directory Services, on September 8, 2004 Verisign will be switching from performing 2 updates per day of the .com and .net zones to performing updates every few seconds. According to Matt, 'After the rapid DNS update is implemented, the elapsed time from registrars' add or change operations to the visibility of those adds or changes in all 13 .com/.net authoritative name servers is expected to average less than five minutes."

...but kissing our asses won't make up for the fact you still want to deprecate NXDOMAIN for SiteFinder.

Yet another Y2038 problem waiting to happen. The serial number in the SOA record is a 32-bit number; by making this the UNIX timestamp, they'll run out of numbers in January 2038.

They should have made it what I made it when I had to program an automatically generated serial number: (Unix timestamp - some other number (414500033 to be exact)) / 60

This timestamp won't expire...for a while. :)

the reason has a lot to do with a little-known DNS behavior called credibility

Which became even less well-known after Verisign hijacked DNS with SiteFinder

No, no, no... you always reverse the DNS polarity first, THEN start rotating frequencies. Sheesh...
