   An Internet Engineering Steering Group comment from the co-Area
   Director for IPng:  Please note well that this memo is an individual
   product of the author.  It presents one view of the IN-ADDR
   mechanism, motivated by discussion in the IPNG WG of the difficulty
   of secure, dynamic update of the reverse tree.  Other IETF discussion
   and ongoing standards work on this area will be found in the IP Next
   Generation (ipngwg), DNS IXFR, Notification, and Dynamic Update
   (dnsind), DNS Security (dnssec) working groups.

Abstract
