Joe, look at active directory. The names in the DNS are garbage cleaned by undocumented processes that prevent UPDATE being used to manage the “static” content. You have registering AAAA and PTR records with SLAAC. You don’t want stale records to continue to exist in the zones. You will be sent to the wrong machine (AAAA) or the zone will become a garbage dump of stale records (PTR). But until the support is there you can’t safely do this. Today you can use SIG(0) to register your AAAA records and use TCP to authenticate PTR additions to the DNS zones. All that is missing is the automated cleanup. DNS servers are quite capable of doing that once specified how. DHCP servers mostly do this for IPv4 but even that is problematic. Records still get left behind because there was a communication failure at lease expiry / release. DNS-SD has the same issues. Garbage collection. You also need it as standards track so people won’t think it is something that is going away and to encourage everyone who implements UPDATE to support it. Clients and servers. -- Mark Andrews > On 20 Feb 2019, at 23:51, Joe Abley <jabley@hopcount.ca> wrote: > >> On 20 Feb 2019, at 00:35, Paul Wouters <paul@nohats.ca> wrote: >> >>> On Wed, 20 Feb 2019, Mark Andrews wrote: >>> >>> Think disaster recovery and promoting a slave to master.

The existence of the requirement in the first place seems unproven (at least there are no obvious examples given); the scenario in which the purported operational problem arises seems likely to be rare; workarounds surely exist and, really, the damage in the event that the stars align and a temporary name does persist seems very low. > > If the goal is to try this out and have no impact on existing implementations (e.g. there is some side code that is imagined that will poll a transferred zone for TIMEOUT records and do local UPDATEs in order to remove RRSets that should not be there) then all that is really needed here is a code point for the TIMEOUT RR. The existence of the draft is nice since documentation is good, but I think "experimental" would be a better target than "standards track". It's surely possible that this mechanism will solve some as-yet unnoticed, large-scale problem and will one day be considered essential functionality, but I don't think we're there today. There be camels. > > > Joe > > _______________________________________________ > DNSOP mailing list > DNSOP@ietf.org > https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
