According to all known laws of DNS, there is no way a fedi instance could be hosted on an .ARPA domain.
Even if you get ahold of a domain like this, it should only be used for PTR records - right?

The instance, of course, federates anyway - because DNS doesn't care what humans think is impossible.

@loke @domi A really, really bad idea. As someone who worked at the first site on the early ARPANET at UCLA and worked on the original ARPANET protocols and continuously going forward from then, I assure you that doing this will cause you nothing but grief down the line. You can play games with DNS but eventually you'll get bitten. Trust me on this.

Bah. All that happens is that you get a bidirectional self-referencing host. Nothing to see.

But, it's not very helpful for humans....

@lauren @loke @domi
Gotta be aware, though, that you're often not in control of "your" .arpa zone. Your operator is, and some refuse to delegate it further downstream.
