Speaking of being horrified, compare the growth rate on the graph on slide 2 in this presentation: https://indico.dns-oarc.net/event/28/session/11/contribution/55/material/slides/1.pdf With the growth rate on the graph in this article for the same time period: https://www.recode.net/2017/4/27/15413870/comcast-broadband-internet-pay-tv-subscribers-q1-2017 A hybrid resolution model that allows leaf queries for parts of the DNS to be resolved direct-to-authority at endpoints would be very helpful for some use cases (especially, CDNs) and could stall the insatiable growth in resolution capacity needed at centralized resolvers. Not to mention, such a model would provide a solid deprecation path for ECS. I also note most but not all of the stuff Bert is talking about in his slide deck are on the inter-server side of the protocol (resolver to authority). But there are also other DNS camels that have been slowly gestating in the browser world, e.g.: https://plus.google.com/+WilliamChanPanda/posts/FKot8mghkok https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1434852 -- Robert Edmonds _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
