Subject: [arin-announce] IN-ADDR.ARPA Zone Transfer Complete
Today ARIN and ICANN are jointly working on the transition of the technical=
management function for the IN-ADDR.ARPA zone from ARIN to ICANN. ARIN car=
ried out the DNS zone maintenance function for IN-ADDR.ARPA since 1997 and =
worked closed with ICANN throughout the transition period.
Immediately upon transfer to ICANN, the IN-ADDR.ARPA zone will also be sign=
ed using DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC), providing end-users with the abi=
lity to validate answers to reverse DNS queries. The IN-ADDR.ARPA zone is a=
lso in the process of being moved from twelve root servers to dedicated nam=
eservers operated by the five Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) and one o=
perated by ICANN.
For more details on the history of this transition please see <http://in-ad=
dr-transition.icann.org/>.
