The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Indicating Resolver Support of DNSSEC' <draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-okbit-02.txt> as a Proposed Standard. This document is the product of the DNS Extensions Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Erik Nordmark and Thomas Narten. Technical Summary In order to deploy DNSSEC operationally, DNSSEC aware servers should only perform automatic inclusion of DNSSEC RRs when there is an explicit indication that the resolver can understand those RRs. This document proposes the use of a bit in the EDNS0 header to provide that explicit indication and the necessary protocol changes to implement that notification. Working Group Summary There was WG concensus to advance this document. Protocol Quality The specification has been reviewed for the IESG by Erik Nordmark.
