A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Redefinition of DNS AD bit
	Author(s)	: B. Wellington, O. Gudmundsson
	Filename	: draft-ietf-dnsext-ad-is-secure-05.txt
	Pages		: 5
	Date		: 26-Mar-02
	
Based on implementation experience, the current definition of the AD
bit in the DNS header is not useful.  This draft changes the
specification so that the AD bit is only set on answers where
signatures have been cryptographically verified or the server is
authoritative for the data and is allowed to set the bit by policy.

In the body type:

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
