Dear Éric, all,

Many thanks for your review, and Ben for the follow-up. I have some Nits for 
which I apologise for missing in my previous proof-read:

---
1. Introduction

"Networks usually offer clients a DNS resolver using means such as (e.g., DHCP 
OFFER, IPv6 Router Advertisement)" --> parentheses should be removed.

2.  Terminology

The terms defined should have a colon appended,  otherwise it may not be clear 
to the reader where the term ends and the definition begins.

8. Examples of Split-Horizon DNS Configuration

s/the internal servers resolves only/the internal servers resolve only

9.  Operational Efficiency in Split-Horizon Deployments

Missing word or period in the middle of "Verification Record, this document":

   Although placing internal domains inside a child domain is
   unnecessary to prevent leakage, such placement reduces the frequency
   of changes to the Verification Record, this document recommends the
   internal domains be kept in a child zone of the local domain hints
   advertised by the network.

Changing to either "Verification Record. This document" or "Verification 
Record, hence this document" fixes this.

Many thanks, and Happy New Year to all!

All best,
Kevin

Thanks for these improvements!  I approve the "dot-last" listing of special-use 
domain names.

Some further comments:

Section 1:
"This specification expects that local DNS servers will be securely identified 
..."
-> This statement strikes me as more personifying than is necessary.  It's also 
strange because, leaving aside the specification's opinion, I don't expect that 
most local DNS servers will be securely identified.  The prior text said "this 
specification relies on ...", in an attempt to convey the idea that secure 
identification is a precondition, not a prediction (as implied by the future 
tense "will be").  Other possible verbs for this sentence would be "require" or 
"assume" (or "applies only to networks where the local DNS server is securely 
identified", etc.).

Section 5:
"If the local encrypted resolver is identified by name (e.g., DNR),"
-> Perhaps "(e.g., using DNR)" would be more correct.

Section 8:
"Figure 2 shows discovery using DNR and PvD information."
-> "information from DNR and PvD" seems preferable to avoid ambiguity about 
whether "information" applies to both "DNR" and "PvD".

"The client determines the network's DNS server (dns.example.net) and PvD 
information (pvd.example.com) using DNR [RFC9463] and PvDs [RFC8801], using one 
of the following: DNR Router Solicitation, DHCPv4, or DHCPv6."
-> This sentence has a few problems: pvd.example.com is not really the "PvD 
information", nothing in steps 1-2 actually uses PvDs, and "DNR Router 
Solicitation" is not a logical alternative to "DHCPv4".  I suggest this 
replacement: "The client determines the network's DNS server (dns.example.net) 
and PvD ID (pvd.example.com) using DNR and one of the following: Router 
Solicitation, DHCPv4, or DHCPv6."

"PvD JSON information ... The PvD contains:"
-> RFC 8801 consistently uses the term "PvD Additional Information" for this 
JSON object.  Referring to it as "JSON information" is clear enough but seems 
informal, and calling it "the PvD" seems to compromise precision.  I would 
prefer "PvD Additional Information ... The JSON object contains:"

General note:
The capitalization of "Option" in the context of DHCP and RA still seems 
somewhat inconsistent.  c.f. RFC 8801's consistent capitalization of "PvD 
Option".
