Dear dnsop, We submitted a new version of a “dry-run DNSSEC” draft. The draft describes a method that allows for testing DNSSEC deployments in real world DNS(SEC) deployments without affecting the DNS service in case of DNSSEC errors. Any encountered errors are signaled to the DNS operator of the faulty zone with DNS Error Reporting (draft-ietf-dnsop-dns-error-reporting).
This is a new idea which will be presented during dnsop at the IETF114 and was also presented at the IETF113. A recording of the IETF113 presentation is here: https://youtu.be/watch?v=7HxcmvFOnlU&t=3675s Slides here: https://datatracker.ietf.org/meeting/113/materials/slides-113-dnsop-dry-run-dnssec-01 We received a lot of feedback with our presentation which we used to reorganize the draft to convey the idea more clearly and coherently. We also received some critique and objections which were non-technical in nature. Below is a list with these objections followed by our response. ** This is another straw on the camel’s back ** Not all resolvers have to support/implement it. Most important is that provisioning at the registry and signaling of Dry-run is supported. If needed we can say it is OPTIONAL for resolvers in the draft. We intend to implement it ourselves in Unbound and have it enabled by default when error reporting is enabled. We know from experience with trust-anchor signaling and sentinel record that with only a small, up to date resolver population, the signaling is already quite substantial. There are different kinds of straws and this one is one that has the good cause of enabling operators to deploy DNSSEC with confidence. ** Why not have a duplicate parallel test deployment? ** There is nothing better than testing with your actual user population to dry-run your DNSSEC deployment. Note that slack’s parallel test deployment did not show them the Route53 failure that caused them to have an DNSSEC outage eventually[1] ** Why not sell DNSSEC domains cheaper? ** Yes, we’re all for that too, but that’s orthogonal to seeing what the actual effect of starting DNSSEC with your deployment with your real user population would be. The other objections which were more technical, like for example “registries supporting only fixed sized hashes per algorithm” and “couldn’t we normalize the different DS hacks somehow” are all addressed in the new version of the document. We’re looking forward to a new round of feedback and critique ;) Both on-list and in-person at the IETF-114!
