Hi Warren,

 

I agree this is needed, as RFC7050 is widely implemented, even in the case of 
RFC8305 for allowing a somehow “equivalent” functionality as the CLAT for 
literal addresses.

 

For the same reasons this document mention, in 
draft-ietf-v6ops-nat64-deployment, I have:

 

   The learning of the IPv6 prefix could be solved by means of adding

   the relevant AAAA records to the ipv4only.arpa. zone of the service

   provider recursive servers, i.e., if using the WKP (64:ff9b::/96):

               ipv4only.arpa.  SOA     . . 0 0 0 0 0

               ipv4only.arpa.  NS      .

               ipv4only.arpa.  AAAA    64:ff9b::192.0.0.170

               ipv4only.arpa.  AAAA    64:ff9b::192.0.0.171

               ipv4only.arpa.  A       192.0.0.170

               ipv4only.arpa.  A       192.0.0.171

 

and:

8. IANA Considerations

This document does not have any new specific IANA considerations.

Note: This section is assuming that https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid5152 
is resolved, otherwise, this section may include the required text to resolve 
the issue.

 

So I support this.

 

I wonder if we should ask DNSOP WG to reconsider this as a WG document and 
proceed the normal way.


Regards,

Jordi

Asunto: [DNSOP] AD sponsoring draft-cheshire-sudn-ipv4only-dot-arpa

 

Dear DNSOP,

Stuart Cheshire & David Schinazi have asked me to AD sponsor the 
draft-cheshire-sudn-ipv4only-dot-arpa document

​[0]​

..

>From the document:
"The specification for how a client discovers its network's NAT64 prefix 
[RFC7050] defines the special name 'ipv4only.arpa' for this purpose, but 
declares it to be a non-special name in that specification Domain Name 
Reservation Considerations section.
Consequently, despite the well articulated special purpose of the name, 
'ipv4only.arpa' was not recorded in the Special-Use Domain Names registry as a 
name with special properties.
This document formally declares the actual special properties of the name, and 
adds similar declarations for the corresponding reverse mapping names."

RFC7050 ("Discovery of the IPv6 Prefix Used for IPv6 Address Synthesis") is 
worth reading before reading this. If you are mainly a DNS person, 

​this may be...surprising.



When reading draft-cheshire-sudn-ipv4only-dot-arpa there are a few things 

​worth

 keeping in mind:

1: This is a fairly specialized function - it is used by NAT64 clients to 
discover the prefix used for synthesis ("normal" people / applications never 
need to resolve this). The main people who will deal with this are mobile / 
stack vendors, and NAT64 providers.
2: RFC7050 has a large amount of text around DNSSEC, what to do with DNSSEC, 
etc. Note that this DNSSEC is for the FQDN of the *NAT64 device*, not the 
ipv4only.arpa name.
3: Devices use this mechanism to discover the IPv6 prefix used for IPv6 address 
synthesis - different interfaces (e.g cellular and wifi) will have different 
prefixes. This means that clients
must

​ ​

do this query using the resolver learned on / appropriate for that interface. 
This is the main bit which is weird for a DNS person - the response from the 
resolver for your cellular interface connected to T-Mobile contains T-Mobile's 
NAT64 prefix; the response from the resolver learnt over your wifi connection 
to the IETF network contains the NAT64 prefix you use on the IETF network. DNS 
isn't really being used here for resolving names, rather DNS is being used a 
signalling mechanism (a rude t-shirt springs to mind here). 

What this draft does is:
1: record this in

​ ​

the SUDN registry; RFC7050 answered the RFC6761 questions, but didn't actually 
ask the IANA to update the registry.
2: requests that the IANA make ipv4only.arpa be an insecure delegation (see #2 
above) - 

​this removes some special handling and complexity.​


3: specifies that you have to use the resolvers learn on an interface for these 
queries. The whole purpose of these queries is to learn the *local* NAT64 
prefix - asking a public recursive isn't going to help you here.
4: This is under .arpa (and is already in wide use) - it doesn't have the 
sticky policy problems that many SUD names have.

I've 

​agreed

 to AD sponsor this, but would really appreciate your review and input. RFC7050 
is deployed - this improves / clarifies things.

1: The authors have previously presented this document at DNSOP meetings - 
there was some discussion, but no real interest in adopting or shouts of 
outrage about it.
2: I've asked the DNSOP chairs if I can use the DNSOP list for discussion of 
this

​ ​

(and they agreed)
3: This was originally a product of the (now closed) BEHAVE WG - I've spoken 
with Spencer (the BEHAVE AD) who has no objections.
4: I've asked the IESG and there were no objections either.
5: As this touches .arpa I'm also asking the IAB for input.
6: Dave Thaler (who was the document shepherd for RFC7050) has kindly agreed to 
be shepherd for this document too.

should be insecure." thread -

I don't think the execution is relevant when it was obviously a bad idea in the 
first place.
This is like putting rabid weasels in your pants, and later expressing regret 
at having chosen those particular rabid weasels and that pair of pants.
