RFC 3681             Delegation of E.F.F.3.IP6.ARPA         January 2004


   The current planning within the 6bone operational community is to
   provide new inet6num attributes in the 6bone registry database for
   top level 6bone address space holders to request delegation to their
   reverse path servers.

2.  IANA Considerations

   This memo requests that the IANA delegate the E.F.F.3.IP6.ARPA domain
   to the 6bone, as will be described in instructions to be provided by
   the IAB.  Names within this zone are to be further delegated within
   the top level 6bone ISPs (known as pTLAs) in accordance with the
   delegation of 6bone 3FFE::/16 address space.

3.  Security Considerations

   While DNS spoofing of address to name mapping has been exploited in
   IPv4, delegation of the E.F.F.3.IP6.ARPA zone creates no new threats
   to the security of the internet.
