But the IETF network has for as long as I've attended (12
years) been a proving ground for new technology.
DHCP, multicast, wireless, IPv6, etc.
I'm quite happy to see more testing of future technology /
configurations on the network.
I'd like to see DNSSEC validation deployed on the recursive
DNS servers advertised by DHCP to the network. I'd like
to see IETF.ORG signed. I'd like to see SIG(0) deployed
on the recursive DNS servers.
The IETF net should be a actively hostile network from a
security perspective once we have the technology to detect
and mitigate the attacks. If you ask a plain DNS question
you should expect to get a compromised answer.
Most of us don't harden our systems nearly enough. We
should be able to do work with hardened system otherwise
we have failed as engineers.
