Abstract:
   This document describes an experimental protocol and new DNS Resource
   Record that can be used to provide an message digest over DNS zone
   data.  The ZONEMD Resource Record conveys the message digest data in
   the zone itself.  When a zone publisher includes an ZONEMD record,
   recipients can verify the zone contents for accuracy and
   completeness.  This provides assurance that received zone data
   matches published data, regardless of how the zone data has been
   transmitted and received.

   ZONEMD is not designed to replace DNSSEC.  Whereas DNSSEC is designed
   to protect recursive name servers and their caches, ZONEMD protects
   applications that consume zone files, whether they be authoritative
   name servers, recursive name servers, or uses of zone file data.

   As specified at this time, ZONEMD is not designed for use in large,
   dynamic zones due to the time and resources required for digest
   calculation.  The ZONEMD record described in this document includes
   fields reserved for future work to support large, dynamic zones.
