ANAME will add two things beyond a provisioning-only setup: * a standard way to signal to dynamic auth servers where to get A/AAAA records from * a way to signal to recursives that they might get a better answer if they query the target themselves Even for a provisioning-only setup, ANAME will give the zone admin a standard way to configure the provisioning process. That's what I mostly want it for.
what do you expect non-dynamic servers to do in the presence of ANAME? i assume you'll recommend that they also host real A and AAAA RRsets at the same name-node, which only a dynamic authoritative would ignore?
if so, there's a third work flow available, which is to use RFC 2136 dynamic update to periodically update those "last resort" or "static" A and AAAA RRsets, for a non-dynamic server.
and if so, why aren't we just specifying that, and avoiding the creation of a new kind of authority server ("dynamic")?
