Re: [DNSOP] Informal meeting about root KSK futures at IETF 103

I won't be in Bangkok, so I won't be able to participate.  In my view,
there were two specific problems that dominated the rollover problem.  The
first was the inability to determine the configuration of querying
resolver.  The second was the in ability to notify resolver operators if it
was evident their software was misconfigured.

Although these two problems became evident and important during the
rollover, they also apply more generally, so if the IETF is going to work
on improvements, it would be helpful if the improvements would be useful in
the event of other configuration or operational issues.  Ideally, every
resolver that issues a query would provide configuration information,
perhaps in a controlled fashion, and there should also be a way to notify
the resolver operator of operational problems.

We will need to do more rollovers in the future, driven at least in part by
the need to change algorithms.  I would hope we can work toward making
these relatively straightforward.

Thanks,

Steve
