This document generalizes and extends the use of DNS NOTIFY (RFC
1996) beyond conventional zone transfer hints to allow other types of
actions that were previously lacking a trigger mechanism to be
triggered via the DNS. Notifications merely nudge the receiver to
initiate a predefined action promptly (instead of on a schedule);
they do not alter the action itself (including any security checks it
might employ).
To enable this functionality, a method for discovering the receiver
endpoint for such notification messages is introduced, via the new
DSYNC record type. Notification types are recorded in a new registry,
with initial support for parental NS and DS record updates including
DNSSEC bootstrapping.
This document is a product of the Domain Name System Operations Working Group
of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
