Abstract


   The DNS ZONEVERSION option is a way for DNS clients to request, and
   for authoritative DNS servers to provide, information regarding the
   version of the zone from which a response is generated.  The Serial
   field from the Start Of Authority (SOA) resource record is a good
   example of a zone's version, and the only one defined by this
   specification.  Additional version types may be defined by future
   specifications.

   Including zone version data in a response simplifies and improves the
   quality of debugging and diagnostics since the version and the DNS
   answer are provided atomically.  This can be especially useful for
   zones and DNS providers that leverage IP anycast or multiple backend
   systems.  It functions similarly to the DNS Name Server Identifier
   (NSID) option [RFC5001].
