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 (RR) is a
good example of a zone's version, and it is 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 diagnostics since the version and the DNS
answer 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 described in RFC 5001.
This document is a product of the Domain Name System Operations Working Group
of the IETF.
This is now a Proposed Standard.
