#5 inetDnsDomain attributes for contacts and nameservers
At first I thought the attributes for contacts and nameservers in
inetDnsDomain were LDAP url's, but after reading the example it would
seem they are just strings. Correct me if I'm wrong (reading the OID
numbers starts to get confusing for me).
If they aren't LDAP URL's, then what is a client to do with them for
dereferencing? Are these LDAP aliases? The OID number seems to define
their syntax as that of inetDnsDomain (also confusing since an email
address is not a domain name).
If the client gets an inetDnsDomain entry, what is it to do to follow
the information for a nameserver? Does it requiry the same server?
Does it start the whole query bootstrapping process again?
Either I just don't get it (entirely probable at this point), or these
should be LDAP URL's, or there needs to be text defining how a client is
to further dereference this information.
