Dear dnsop,

We have a new version of the Delegation Revalidation by DNS Resolvers draft addressing the feedback received during the previous last call.

 * We changed the abstract to reflect that the algorithms described in
   the document are optional and that the document describes the
   benefits and considerations of using this approach.
 * A new section is added, "Section 4. Limiting upgrading NS
   Credibility", giving the possibility for limited (or scoped)
   revalidation a more prominent place in the document.
 * "Section 1. Introduction" is rewritten to highlight already in an
   early stage the considerations and possible remedies for Upgrading
   NS RRsets.
 * In "Section 2. Motivation" the security benefits are expended upon
   earlier than before.
 * Limiting (or scoping) of /strictly/ revalidating referrals and
   authoritative NS RRset responses is now RECOMMENDED (Last paragraph
   of Section 6.1.)
 * The "Appendix B. Implementation status" section has been updated to
   reflect more clearly which parts of the document are implemented in
   Unbound already.

Warm regards,

Willem Toorop on behalf of the draft-ietf-dnsop-ns-revalidation co-authors

Abstract:

This document describes an optional algorithm for the processing of
Name Server (NS) resource record (RR) sets (RRsets) during iterative
resolution, and describes the benefits and considerations of using
this approach. When following a referral response from an
authoritative server to a child zone, DNS resolvers should explicitly
query the authoritative NS RRset at the apex of the child zone and
cache this in preference to the NS RRset on the parent side of the
zone cut. The (A and AAAA) address RRsets in the additional section
from referral responses and authoritative NS answers for the names of
the NS RRset, should similarly be re-queried and used to replace the
entries with the lower trustworthiness ranking in cache. Resolvers
should also periodically revalidate the delegation by re-querying the
parent zone at the expiration of the TTL of either the parent or
child NS RRset, whichever comes first.
