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		: DNSSEC and IPv6 A6 aware server/resolver message size 
                          requirements
	Author(s)	: O. Gudmundsson
	Filename	: draft-ietf-dnsext-message-size-02.txt
	Pages		: 6
	Date		: 22-Jan-01
	
This document mandates support for EDNS0 in DNS entities claiming to
support DNS Security Extensions and A6 records. This requirement is
necessary because these new features increase the size of DNS
messages. If EDNS0 is not supported fallback to TCP will happen,
having a detrimental impact on query latency and DNS server load.

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.
