Subject: [DNSOP] [Humour] "dotted-decimal domain names"

I just discovered this gem (last paragraph of the documentation):

http://cr.yp.to/djbdns/dnscache.html

"dnscache handles dotted-decimal domain names internally, giving
(e.g.) the domain name 192.48.96.2 an A record of 192.48.96.2."

And this prediction:

"Eventually, no matter what DNSEXT does, dotted-decimal domain names
will be a de facto standard."

Old and unmaintained software can bring funny surprises.
