It's not necessarily the case that nothing can be answered. Resolvers can and do resolve user queries using the configured root servers while priming is in progress. There is nothing wrong with existing resolvers that use the same timeout and retransmission strategies for priming queries as for any other query, and it seems wrong to me that a specific retransmission timeout should be required for some queries but not others. -- Andreas Gustafsson, g...@araneus.fi _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
