The IESG has approved the following document: - 'DNS Resolver Information' (draft-ietf-add-resolver-info-13.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Adaptive DNS Discovery Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Erik Kline and Éric Vyncke. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-add-resolver-info/ Technical Summary This document specifies a method for DNS resolvers to publish information about themselves. DNS clients can use the resolver information to identify the capabilities of DNS resolvers. How such an information is then used by DNS clients is out of the scope of this document. Working Group Summary It is a strong concurrence of a few individuals, but is still widely understood and accepted by the WG. Document Quality Speaking as an industry member, the document shepherd is aware of parties who have no interest in implementing the mechanism described in this document (including his own employer), but none of these parties are opposed to the standard itself for use by other parties. The reasons for not implementing known to the document shepherd are rooted in product strategy reasoning, not ethical or security concerns that would translate to valid reasons to block publication. Note about id-nits: one nit is “Unused Reference: 'I-D.pp-add-resinfo' is defined on line 390, but no explicit reference was found in the text”. This document is referenced in the Acknowledgements section at the end of the document, following the References section. The authors, document shepherd, and responsible AD agree having the reference is valuable as the referenced draft was a major source for this document. An Expert Review for the new DNS RR type defined by this document has taken place. Personnel The Document Shepherd for this document is Tommy Jensen. The Responsible Area Director is Éric Vyncke. IANA Note There are two IANA requests: Create a new DNS RR TYPE with the following properties: Type: RESINFO Value: 261 Meaning: Resolver Information as Key/Value Pairs Create a new registry entitled “DNS Resolver Information Keys” under the “Domain Name System (DNS) Parameters” with the following columns: Name <string for the key’s name> Description <string describing the purpose of the key> _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list -- ietf-announce@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to ietf-announce-le...@ietf.org
