Paul, would you consider adding something like these, with whatever modifications seem necessary? Maybe under Resource Records, since that is where OPT is.
One thing that has been experience by many of us in different organizations, and which actually has shown its head within discussions with IETF people this week who are not in the DNS community, is that they very, very commonly think of the EDNS client-subnet option as being "EDNS0". Those of us involved with ECS constantly try to educate people about this, especially since there are currently very few EDNS options and this is the only one that seems to be known by people outside of the DNS community. ================ EDNS / EDNS0 -- The Extension Mechanisms for DNS, defined by [RFC6891], are an addition to the original message format to allow DNS agents [which I acknowledge is not defined, but by which I mean to indicate "any software which speaks DNS"] to specify message sizes larger than the original 512 octet limit, to expand the response code space, and to potentially carry additional options that affect the handling of a query. EDNS can be versioned, but currently the only version in public use is EDNS0. ECS / EDNS client-subnet -- An EDNS option principally for carrying information from a resolver to an authoritative server about the general network location of a client of the resolver. This is generally used by full service resolves who serve clients from a diverse network topography to get response from authoritative servers that tailor their responses based on client location. [This also seems to be missing as a commonly seen token:] RRTYPE [RRType?] -- A mnemonic or numeric value representing the type of data carried in an RR, as defined in [RFC1035] section 3.2, which impacts how its RDATA is interpreted. The full set of assigned values is listed at [IANA reference]. RDATA -- The data portion of an RR, as defined in [RFC1035]. Its format and semantics varies by RRTYPE. ================ PS: I tend to use NXRRSET as slightly more expressive than NODATA, though it is an extended rcode for dynamic update. Worth mentioning along with the NODATA definition, or am I pretty much solo in using the term this way? _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
