To clarify - my message was not meant to be point and shame, but to share the awareness of the issue and to satisfy the general curiosity of DNS people. I think I also actually found an error in BIND 9's QNAME minimization algorithm by violating Section 3, step (3) and doing NS query instead for the full name. So, perhaps, thank you is in place :) Ondrej -- Ondřej Surý (He/Him) [email protected] _______________________________________________ dns-operations mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dns-oarc.net/mailman/listinfo/dns-operations
