Title : Serving Stale Data to Improve DNS Resiliency

Abstract:
This draft defines a method for recursive resolvers to use stale DNS
data to avoid outages when authoritative nameservers cannot be
reached to refresh expired data. It updates the definition of TTL
from [RFC1034], [RFC1035], and [RFC2181] to make it clear that data
can be kept in the cache beyond the TTL expiry and used for responses
when a refreshed answer is not readily available. One of the
motivations for serve-stale is to make the DNS more resilient to DoS
attacks, and thereby make them less attractive as an attack vector.
