[DNSOP] `localhost` and DNS.

[Mike West <[e-mail]>]

Hey folks!

Skimming through the recording of Monday's meeting
<https://play.conf.meetecho.com/Playout/?session=IETF100-DNSOP-20171113-0930>
(starting
at around 53:56), it sounds to me as though there's at least loose
agreement that signing a response for `localhost` is not what we'd like to
recommend: all the folks who commented explicitly took that position for
similar reasons. The current text in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-let-localhost-be-localhost-01#section-4.2
reflects
this position, and IMO it's what we should run with.

Are there contrary opinions that weren't expressed in the room on Monday?
If not, is there additional work we need to do on the draft before moving
on? I believe the remaining feedback that's been provided on the list has
been addressed in the current -01.

Also, one suggestion made at the mic is that `127.0.0.1` isn't the only
loopback address (with the example of FreeBSD jails). I believe the current
draft accepts that reality by allowing a range of loopback addresses in
https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-let-localhost-be-localhost-01#section-2.
Are there loopback addresses outside the 127.0.0.0/8 range?

Thanks!
