2002-1: Lame Delegations in IN-ADDR.ARPA

ARIN will actively identify lame DNS name server(s) for in-addr.arpa
delegations associated with address blocks allocated, assigned or
administered by ARIN.  Upon identification of a lame delegation, ARIN
shall attempt to contact the POC for that resource.  The process of
contact shall follow at least the following sequence until the lame
delegation is repaired:
 
 1) E-mail contact to POC information from ARIN database record(s)
    associated with the in-addr.arpa delegation
 2) E-mail contact to POC information from ARIN database record(s)
    associated with ASN(s) originating the route in the global 
    routing table.
 3) Telephone contact to any POC information obtained above
 4) Postal mail contact to any POC information obtained above requesting
    response within 30 days
 
After completing the contact procedures listed above, and the lame
delegation persists, and waiting for a minimum of 30 days following the
postal mail being sent, ARIN shall update the resource record with text
indicating:
 
 1) That the delegation has been determined to be lame
 2) The evaluation date of the lame delegation
 3) That contact has been attempted unsuccessfully
 4) The date record was updated
 
The record shall be further updated by removing the name server
delegation(s).
