    The current NSI RRP implementation enforces IP address uniqueness within the
    NSI SRS database. An IP address can be associated with only a single named
    server.

    I've had one or two people provide offline comments that this doesn't allow
    registration of multiple server names using the same IP address. Yes,
    that's true, and we did it primarily to help reduce cases of bogus name
    server registration using IP addresses allocated to someone else.

    Does anyone have any feelings on whether or not a generic protocol should
    allow an IP address to be shared among multiple server names? For example,
    if a machine has two names such as ns1.example.com and foo.example.com with
    IP address 198.1.2.3, should we allow registration of both ns1.example.com
    and foo.example.com with the same IP address?
