Hi all,
This is the opening of the Working Group Last Call for "Let 'localhost' be
localhost”
(https://www.ietf.org/id/draft-ietf-dnsop-let-localhost-be-localhost-02.txt).
I have read this document.
...
I am really very troubled by the idea that any DNS server should
return RCODE 3 to a query for "localhost". (This is items 4 and 5 in
section 3.) This is not even wrong: the name _does_ exist, and indeed
any server on the Internet would know that (since it would itself
serve the answer _to_ itself of what localhost means; whether it
should serve it to anyone else might be a different question, but it
certainly should not respond with RCODE 3).
...
I am sorry that cannot support advancing the draft in its current
state.
likewise. i'd prefer this to be crafted as operating system api
guidance, along the lines of RFC 1535. i can't agree to on-the-wire
changes along the lines described here.
