auDA are missing a fundamental policy. “Registrants must use RFC Compliant nameservers” should have been the 1st policy.
At the moment over half the server listed for .au domains do not comply with the DNS RFC’s leading in some cases to interoperability issues with recursive servers. There is no penalty for deploying broken nameservers. Every time resolvers try to do something “new” you hit broken servers that fail to handle that “new” thing despite the RFC’s having will defined behaviours specified. Where “new" can be as little as sending a query type that isn’t a A record query. Yes, STD 13, said what to do. The RFC that make up STD 13 were published in 1987. Fix the basics before worrying about opening up the namespace.
