               Use of DNS to Carry Configuration Metadata
               Concerning Automatic Replication of Zones

                                 Abstract

   Whenever it is desireable to exactly replicated the content of a DNS
   zone into one or more other DNS zones so that the content is
   reachable by multiple names at different zone apexes, it is likewise
   desireable that this behaviour be automated so that cooperating
   primary and secondary nameservers can generate and serve the entire
   set of shadows without human intervention and in an open multivendor
   manner.  This document describes a new CLONE resource record for a
   zone apex which can guide such cooperation.
