Title : Decreasing Access Time to Root Servers by Running One
On The Same Server
Authors : Warren Kumari

Filename : draft-ietf-dnsop-7706bis-00.txt
Pages : 12

Abstract:
Some DNS recursive resolvers have longer-than-desired round-trip
times to the closest DNS root server. Some DNS recursive resolver
operators want to prevent snooping of requests sent to DNS root
servers by third parties. Such resolvers can greatly decrease the
round-trip time and prevent observation of requests by running a copy
of the full root zone on the same server, such as on a loopback
address. This document shows how to start and maintain such a copy
of the root zone that does not pose a threat to other users of the
DNS, at the cost of adding some operational fragility for the
operator.
This draft will update RFC 7706. See Section 1.1 for a list of
topics that will be added in the update.
