Hello, I would like to draw attention of dnsop WG to discussion about new service discovery method for Kerberos:
Please see http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/kitten/current/msg06044.html and its continuation http://mailman.mit.edu/pipermail/krbdev/2016-May/012588.html Main arguments for using TXT instead of URI RR type are: ... > We had been planning to use the URI record type, but after a recent > round of discussion, we don't think it's likely that popular DNS hosting > providers will allow customers to create URI records (since it seems > like no one else is using them). Some middle-boxes would also block DNS > queries for URI records. That problem would be even worse if we create > a new record type. So, we are planning to use the TXT record type. It > seems unlikely that we can standardize on a TXT record through the IETF > (except perhaps as an informational RFC), but it seems like the only > deployable option for individuals and small organizations ... Could someone validate these assumptions? I do not like TXT but I'm not in position to judge validity of these arguments. Thank you for your time. -- Petr Spacek @ Red Hat _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
