Thanks for the reference Gio (and Raffaele who also pointed this out to me),

We're citing your paper now in our work-in-progress copy (see https://github.com/shuque/ns-revalidation/commit/5e52689 ), so it will be part of the next version.

Hi Willem,


We've got a peer-reviewed reference[0]  that can help back up some of the claims in the draft.



```
2.  Motivation

   There is wide variability in the behavior of deployed DNS resolvers
   today with respect to how they process delegation records. Some of
   them prefer the parent NS set, some prefer the child, and for others,
   what they preferentially cache depends on the dynamic state of
   queries and responses they have processed.

```

Section 4 in [0] covers a bunch of such cases with Ripe Atlas, and we see just that, and section 5 evaluate some resolver software individually. In short: it backs up what you say

```
The delegation NS RRset at the bottom of the parent zone and the apex
   NS RRset in the child zone are unsynchronized in the DNS protocol.
   Section 4.2.2 of [RFC1034] says "The administrators of both zones
   should insure that the NS and glue RRs which mark both sides of the
   cut are consistent and remain so.
```

We found 13M of domains having parent/child NSSet inconsistency, from .com, .org, and .net, which amounts to 8% of the total.


thanks,
