It would be helpful if the authors could explain why the REFUSED response is being used here. Realizing that the current version of the document is intended to document existing practice, nevertheless, strongly recommending the use of REFUSED here is a bad idea, as can be seen from the advice that immediately follows, which is to retry if REFUSED is received.
Do people think this is the right thing to do, or is it just one of those things that snuck in because nobody wanted to do an IANA allocation? My preference would be to allocate a new EDNS0 response code, point out that existing implementations do something different, which behavior is actually a bad idea, and recommend against adding such behavior to new implementations. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
