Some of the names look as ugly as the contents of DNSSEC RRs. :-) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkvluX8ACgkQ2fXFxl4S7sTghwCg8sh1ZrKpa3d/GlYaGYhAZKN+ /HEAmgPrKZaaHynHRQuTAYfe4xQAWIh1 =cO/L -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
