The IESG has approved the following document: - 'The DNS Zone Version (ZONEVERSION) Option' (draft-ietf-dnsop-zoneversion-11.txt) as Proposed Standard
This document is the product of the Domain Name System Operations Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Warren Kumari and Mahesh Jethanandani. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-zoneversion/ Technical Summary The DNS ZONEVERSION option is a way for DNS clients to request, and for authoritative DNS servers to provide, information regarding the version of the zone from which a response is generated. The Serial field from the Start Of Authority (SOA) resource record is a good example of a zone's version, and the only one defined by this specification. Additional version types may be defined by future specifications. Including zone version data in a response simplifies and improves the quality of debugging and and diagnostics since the version and the data are provided atomically. This can be especially useful for zones and DNS providers that leverage IP anycast or multiple backend systems. It functions similarly to the DNS Name Server Identifier (NSID) option [RFC5001]. Working Group Summary The WG collaborated on resolving any and all issues. There was working group consensus. Document Quality The document is clearly written and simple to understand. There are several implementations that have been in use for some time now. Personnel Tim Wicinski is DS. Warren "Ace" Kumari is RAD!!!!!11!!1 _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list -- dnsop@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to dnsop-le...@ietf.org
