The IESG has approved the following document: - 'Generalized DNS Notifications' (draft-ietf-dnsop-generalized-notify-08.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-generalized-notify/ Technical Summary This document extends the use of DNS NOTIFY (RFC 1996) beyond conventional zone transfer hints, bringing the benefits of ad-hoc notifications to DNS delegation maintenance in general. Use cases include DNSSEC bootstrapping and key rollovers hints, and quicker changes to a delegation's NS record set. To enable this functionality, a method for discovering the receiver endpoint for such notification message is introduced, via the new DSYNC record type. Working Group Summary Initially there were two different drafts discussing possible solutions. The Working Group suggested the authors combine their work into one document, which they did. Consensus has been very solid. Document Quality No DNS protocol changes are introduced by this document. The mechanism instead makes use of a wider range of DNS messages allowed by the protocol. Future extension for further use cases (such as multi-signer key exchange) is possible. Section 7 lists an example implementation, and the authors have been working with others to deploy this. Personnel Tim Wicinski is DS. Warren "Ace" Kumari is RAD!!!!!!!!! (and sad that this is the last time he gets to use this joke...) _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list -- dnsop@ietf.org To unsubscribe send an email to dnsop-le...@ietf.org
