Thanks for the comments. Responses are inline below in my tracking notes below. 14.4 DONE Michael J. Sheldon" <[email protected]> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 14.4.1 DONE In section 3.21 --------------------------- 3.21. Extended DNS Error Code 20 - Lame An authoritative server that receives a query (with the RD bit clear) for a domain for which it is not authoritative SHOULD include this EDE code in the SERVFAIL response. A resolver that receives a query (with the RD bit clear) SHOULD include this EDE code in the REFUSED response. The above case is not consistent with current authoritative server behavior. The authoritative servers I have tested all return REFUSED, not SERVFAIL, regardless of the query RD bit, when the server does not allow recursion, and the server is not authoritative for the zone. I would change to: 3.21. Extended DNS Error Code 20 - Not Authoritative An authoritative server that receives a query (with the RD bit clear, or when not configured for recursion) for a domain for which it is not authoritative SHOULD include this EDE code in the REFUSED response. A resolver that receives a query (with the RD bit clear) SHOULD include this EDE code in the REFUSED response. IMO, while "lame" is a valid term, quite frankly, it's not nearly as clear in meaning as just saying "not authoritative". To me, "lame" is at the delegation (referring server), not the targeted server. + Response: good catch and I like (and have put in) you replacements. I've never liked the "lame" name either, as I don't think it's descriptive to someone that isn't in the inner circle of DNS. -- Wes Hardaker USC/ISI _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list [email protected] https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
