John Klensin proposed a multi-layered search-based access model for the
DNS to address more human-friendly naming and navigation need of the
modern Internet [DNSSEARCH]. When deploying the DNS search system in the
global Internet, stability and scalability are two most important
factors no matter what protocol we finally use. This draft demonstrates
that caching is a significant objective for a stable and scalable DNS
search system. Particularly, this document analyzes statistical
operational data collected from our Keyword service. The collected data
clearly demonstrates the potential high impact of caching in the
resolution process. Based on deployment experience, the document
describes alternative caching methods. From there, basic caching
requirements for DNS Search systems are discussed.
The goal of this document is not to propose some standard caching
mechanisms or methods but to emphasize the necessity of caching for DNS
Search systems. Furthermore, the authors believe that the proven high
efficiency of caching should be an important consideration when
designing the future lookup protocol for such systems.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
