Title: DNS Error Reporting Author: R. Arends, M. Larson Status: Standards Track Stream: IETF Date: April 2024 Mailbox: roy.are...@icann.org, matt.lar...@icann.org Pages: 11 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-dnsop-dns-error-reporting-08.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc9567 DOI: 10.17487/RFC9567 DNS error reporting is a lightweight reporting mechanism that provides the operator of an authoritative server with reports on DNS resource records that fail to resolve or validate. A domain owner or DNS hosting organization can use these reports to improve domain hosting. The reports are based on extended DNS errors as described in RFC 8914. When a domain name fails to resolve or validate due to a misconfiguration or an attack, the operator of the authoritative server may be unaware of this. To mitigate this lack of feedback, this document describes a method for a validating resolver to automatically signal an error to a monitoring agent specified by the authoritative server. The error is encoded in the QNAME; thus, the very act of sending the query is to report the error. This document is a product of the Domain Name System Operations Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard. STANDARDS TRACK: This document specifies an Internet Standards Track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the Official Internet Protocol Standards (https://www.rfc-editor.org/standards) for the standardization state and status of this protocol.
