 5.6.5.  Suggested Verification Methods
 
-   It is preferable to verify the claimed path-identity against the
-   source than to make routine use of the '?' path-delimiter, with
-   consequential wasteful double-entry Path additions.
-
-   If the incoming article arrives through some TCP/IP protocol such as
-   NNTP, the IP address of the source will be known, and will likely
-   already have been checked against a list of known FQDNs, IP
-   addresses, or other registered aliases that the receiving site has
-   agreed to peer with.
-
-   Since the source host may have several IP addresses, checking the
-   claimed FQDN or IP address against the source IP, or finding a
-   suitable FQDN to report with a '?' path-delimiter, may involve
-   several DNS lookups, following CNAME chains as required. Note that
-   any reverse DNS lookup that is involved needs to be confirmed by a
-   forward one.
-
-   If the incoming article arrives through some other protocol, such as
-   UUCP, that protocol MUST include a means of verifying the source
-   site. In UUCP implementations, commonly each incoming connection has
-   a unique login name and password, and that login name (or some alias
-   registered for it) would be expected as the path-identity.
