Hello,

Please see:
  -> http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dane/current/msg06469.html
  -> https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dane/current/msg06658.html

These two threads are about handling of Authenticated Data(AD) bit by the stub 
resolvers. There two proposed solutions for this problem:

 1) To install a 'trusted' local resolver running on 127.0.0.1:53.
    A system wide change request has been filed for this.
    -> https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Default_Local_DNS_Resolver

 2) To strip the AD bit in stub resolvers by default. This requires new 
configuration
    parameter(s) to be defined in '/etc/resolv.conf'.

This is required because, till the time 'trusted' local resolver becomes a 
norm, applications need some way to know whether the listed name servers in 
'/etc/resolv.conf' are trustworthy or not.

The discussion is open for ways to convey 'trustworthyness' of the listed name 
servers to the requesting applications and ways to enable/disable AD bit 
stripping in the stub resolver.

Your inputs/comments about syntax & semantics of the new configurations in 
'/etc/resolv.conf' are most welcome.


Thank you.
