<DIV>Hello everyone,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have got a problem when ICANN tends to download the bulk zone file from
our sftp server.</DIV>
<DIV>We have already put the zone file there, but the result returns from us
shows that <FONT size=2 face=Verdana>No zone files found within the past 3
days.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>The files under the top-levl directory of the
sftp server are:</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>* xn--xxxx.zone.gz</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>*
xn--xxxx.zone.gz.md5</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>*
xn--xxxx.zone.gz.sig</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Complied with the AGB specification 4,section 2.
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>And from the log we found that ICANN can login
successfully.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Verdana>Does any one encounter this problem, and give me
a hand, thanks very much!</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV>In article <19F54F2956911544A32543B8A9BDE0750CA3318D@NICS-EXCH2.sbg.nic.at> you write:</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>>We're currently looking into submitting our first ICANN reports for the new gTLDs we host. One of the fields in the ICANN reporting data is the</DIV>
<DIV>>"zfa-passwords" field, which is supposed to contain the number of active users for the Zone File Access service of the TLD.</DIV>
<DIV>></DIV>
<DIV>>In the light of CZDS, we're assuming that this field can be left set to "0", because there are no direct zone file access users with the individual</DIV>
<DIV>>registry (and that ICANN gathers the number of users directly from CZDS).</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>CDZS allows registries to provide ZFA downloads through CDZS, or</DIV>
<DIV>through an API that provides the user a password to download directly</DIV>
<DIV>from the registry. Somewhat to my surprise all the registries appear</DIV>
<DIV>to be doing the CDZS route, so at this point none of the new</DIV>
<DIV>registries have any passwords.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The volume of ZFA downloads can potentially be pretty big. By my</DIV>
<DIV>estimates, the traffic for ZFA downloads for .COM are roughly the same</DIV>
<DIV>as for all of the .COM WHOIS or all of the .COM DNS server traffic.</DIV>
<DIV>If any of the new TLDs becomes large, i.e., tens of millions of</DIV>
<DIV>domains, and there are a lot of ZFA users, they and ICANN may want to</DIV>
<DIV>revisit the distribution plan.</DIV>
