Dear DNSOP Chairs, We are requesting a call for adoption of draft-wkumari-dnsop-root-loopback.
W A new version of I-D, draft-wkumari-dnsop-root-loopback-01.txt has been successfully submitted by Paul Hoffman and posted to the IETF repository. Name: draft-wkumari-dnsop-root-loopback Revision: 01 Title: Decreasing Access Time to Root Servers by Running One on Loopback Document date: 2014-11-11 Group: Individual Submission Pages: 7 URL: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-wkumari-dnsop-root-loopback-01.txt Status: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-wkumari-dnsop-root-loopback/ Htmlized: http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-wkumari-dnsop-root-loopback-01 Diff: http://www.ietf.org/rfcdiff?url2=draft-wkumari-dnsop-root-loopback-01 Abstract: Some DNS recursive resolvers have longer-than-desired round trip times to the closest DNS root server. Such resolvers can greatly decrease the round trip time by running a copy of the full root zone on a loopback address (such as 127.0.0.1). This document shows how to start and maintain such a copy of the root zone in a manner that is secure for the operator of the recursive resolver and does not pose a threat to other users of the DNS. -- I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad idea in the first place. This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing regret at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of pants. ---maf _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
