I have collected the recent thread here. Can anyone read these and suggest some changes to the current text in <https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc8499bis/> that most people might agree on? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paul Hoffman: Greetings again. I think that all of the issues from the WG on draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc8499bis have been dealt with, except one significant one. Almost a year ago, Tony Finch started a thread about 8499's definitions of bailiwick and sibling glue. The thread is <https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dnsop/5bKXkqzCyGE1NuUko9M6wXLD5bI/> <https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dnsop/fAopdUTnVS2mDF71eiGsRdu9zco/> <https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dnsop/PqH_WMhsP5zxRfjKD4gtmf6nw54/> The WG should come to agreement on this so that we can close out the document. Please read these messages and comment here about changes you do or don't want to be made to the current draft. Tim Wicinski: Thanks for bringing this up. I feel this topic is also relevant to the draft-ietf-dnsop-glue-is-not-optional draft currently being worked on. While I am sure folks are aware of this, this is more of a note that having the definitions clarified will help us move this other draft forward. Paul Wouters: The suggestion by Tony Finch: * Sibling zones: two zones whose delegations are in the same parent zone. * Sibling glue: addresses of nameservers that are in a sibling zone. I agree with the above part. But the next part I do not agree with: Sibling glue is usually the glue that the DNS would require for that sibling zone, but in some cases the requirement lies elsewhere, for example one.example. NS nsa.two.example one.example. NS nsb.two.example two.example. NS ns0.two.example two.example. NS ns1.two.example The DNS protocol does not require sibling glue for the one.example nameservers, though glue addresses might be required by .example registry policy. I find the talk about "in the DNS protocol" and pulling in "registry policy" confusing and unneeded. As a seperate problem in the 2nd references email, I agree that the term "in-bailiwick" probably changed meaning from "within this delegation or below" to "the data related to this delegation". Eg when processing additional records, "in-bailiwick" is interpreted as "needed for completing DNS resolution for all NS entries in this delegation" and could be RRs from other TLDs and their dependencies. For example, in this updated meaning, the A record for ns0.nohats.ca is "in-bailiwick" to libreswan.org and a resolver could add the A record for ns0.nohats.ca (and/or DNSKEY etc) to an answer for NS of libreswan.org. This new use of "in-bailiwick" seems more common too when thinking of resolver to stub and DNSSEC validation, eg with chain-query and tls-dnssec-chain. Possible this dual use let to the new term "in-domain" ? As for the third message quoted, I do not agree that "in-bailiwick is a property of a nameserver". I believe it is a term related to the NS/A records of the QNAME, not of a nameserver. Brian Dickson: It is perhaps worth referencing (informally?) the expired draft (version 05 from 2015): https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-koch-dns-glue-clarifications-05 I think it may be more appropriate to extract the important behavior expectations needed for interoperability. My understanding is as follows: - Whatever glue there is in the delegating zone is required (by RFCs?) to be served. - What glue is accepted or provided (or is required) may differ by parent policies or operator practices - The glue for sibling zones may or may not be needed for resolution. - Resolution may not be possible if glue that should have been present is not present - In-bailiwick for queries received by a server where the QNAME falls below a zone cut is any name at or beneath the parent zone, not the child zone. If the example TLD gets a query for foo.example, and the NS for foo.example falls under bar.example, both foo and bar are in-bailiwick names (at least that is my understanding, which was recently enlarged based on previous misunderstandings) John Levine: > The suggestion by Tony Finch: > > * Sibling zones: two zones whose delegations are in the same > parent zone. > > * Sibling glue: addresses of nameservers that are in a sibling zone. So far we agree (which when it's Paul and me, is really saying something.) > Sibling glue is usually the glue that the DNS would require for that > sibling zone, but in some cases the requirement lies elsewhere, ... This is where we always go off the rails. There seem to be two mutually exclusive interpretations of sibling glue: 1 - it's a small and entirely optional twiddle to speed up or skip recursing into the sibling zone b - it's an essential part of the response because it's the only way to resolve a reference loop. I've already said my piece about which of these makes sense and which is a cruel joke, but if we're going to talk about sibling glue at all, we need to decide which one we mean. Tony Finch: > As a seperate problem in the 2nd references email, I agree that the > term "in-bailiwick" probably changed meaning from "within this > delegation or below" to "the data related to this delegation". I view the term "in-bailiwick" as no longer suitable for use in careful writing because its meaning has become thorougly confused and muddled.
