Re: [DNSOP] [core] WGA call for draft-lenders-dns-over-coap

[Ben Schwartz <[e-mail]>]

Some further notes on this draft.

Section 5.1 says that a DoC server "SHOULD" follow CNAMEs.  This is a
misunderstanding of the nature of DNS transports.  DoC is a DNS transport,
like DoT and DoH.  The choice of transport is independent of the DNS
server's answering behavior, which must not be modified by the transport.
Indeed, DPRIVE is now chartered to enable the use of alternate transports
for recursive-to-authoritative queries for which CNAME following has
entirely different rules.  This is possible precisely because the choice of
transport does not alter the logical DNS contents.

Section 5.1 also proposes that the population of the Additional section
might follow different logic when using DoC.

Modifying the logical DNS behavior would create a wide range of exciting
and unpredictable compatibility issues when trying to use a new transport.
I urge the authors to delete Section 5.1, which would resolve this
problem.  The draft could instead note that the DNS queries and responses
are not modified when using DoC, except under private arrangement between
the client and server.
