Re: [Add] Zone ownership in DNS server discovery

[Tommy Jensen <[e-mail]>]

Hey Vinny,

Yes, but I'd say that's not a hypothetical statement and is already true today. A DNS client could implement a full recursive if they wanted to for example and cache authoritative servers they discover, an extreme example of "bypassing" a need for a recursive.

I'm just suggesting the decision of what server to query for a given name is up to individual implementors, and domains providing authoritative information about designated DNS servers would make that easier than having to be a full recursive (since you can slowly bootstrap these designations).

Thanks,
Tommy

Hi,



So if I understand the statement below, it is entirely up to an algorithm of the implementor, which could differ from endpoint to endpoint or browser to browse, to choose either to use the authoritative vs the recursive resolver.



Did I understand this correctly?



Thanks,
