Going back at least to the mid '90s, yes.  Don't recall whether this
came up in the '80s. :)

As I recall, the thing that stopped this every time was lack of
consensus on pesky details such as "to which QNAME does the RCODE
apply when this fails" and "to which QNAME does the AA bit apply?"

It's possible that DNSSEC-aware stub resolvers would provide some
leverage here, since fields like RCODE and the AA bit are somewhat
redundant if one can just check the freaking signatures.

No, that was yet another class, HS.

Hesiod was an MIT Project Athena thing, and arguably was the first
example of "screw it, just encode it in DNS TXT RRs" syndrome.  IIRC
the only RR types ever used in class HS were NS, TXT, and (maybe) A; I
have a vague recollection that they just looked for IN A RRsets
corresponding to the names in the RDATA of HS NS RRs.  And yeah, a few
other universities did pick up Hesiod, but I'd be astonished if there
were any surviving instances today.

Re: [DNSOP] Prefixed name spaces and DANE client TLSA

2016-01-14 Thread Rob Austein
[Commenting only on technical aspect of the name structure --
discussion of whether the namespace is cluttered, pretty, intuitive,
etc, are too abstract for me.  Not making light of user confusion
issues, just recusing on them.]

I would recommend that you think about how any of these proposed
schemes interact with DNS wildcards.  Yes, some people use wildcards
with TLSA RRs, or even with CNAME RRs pointing to TLSA RRs: this
allows one to express "every service on machine foo.example.org uses
the same certificate" concisely.

So if one buys George's analysis of this as a role vs protocol
distinction, the question becomes whether it's more useful to be able
to group by roles or by protocols.  That is, are you more likely to
want to say "all roles for protocol foo use the same certificate",
"all protocols for role foo use the same certificate", or just not
allow any kind of grouping here at all.  The first of these makes the
most sense to me, YMMV.

Wildcards are probably also the main technical reason for caring about
differences between the naming for TLSA and SRV RRs.

  Q2) Of those who had read Dean's draft, how many supported adoption as

  A2) Nobody present in the room supported adoption of Dean's draft.
