If I may correct a point. IPv4 and IPv6 development is guided by the <http://goog_1540818101>Internet Engineering Task Force<https://www.ietf.org/>(IETF) and many implementations of DNS either use BIND or mimic the behavior of BIND - primarily developed by the Internet Systems Consortium<https://www.isc.org/>a public 501(c)3 public benefit corporation. As Kerry noted, Microsoft, as per the guidelines of those groups, may submit to the ISC and IETF, they are not in control of neither. -Mike On Wed, Aug 22, 2012 at 2:42 PM, Carl Smith <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Thanks Mike, > > You're on the right track, But V4 and v6 are MS proprietary and the > latter is fully under MS control.
