Re: [DNSOP] [internet-drafts@ietf.org: I-D Action: draft-rescorla-tls-esni-00.txt]

Patrick, I believe my understanding of the SNI consumer side is the
same. I'm talking about inability to use DNS wildcard on SNI producer
side:

Let's say I get domain example.com and wildcard certificate
*.example.com. I want to run a couple of services on the subdomains of
example.com and I want to use ESNI. If a TLS client want's to connect
for instance to www.example.com, it will resolve www.example.com
A/AAAA record to get server IP and _esni.www.example.com TXT to get
the key to encrypt SNI. Is that right or did I miss something about
your draft?

If the above true, then my objection is that I cannot use DNS wildcard
for _esni record and I will have to create explicit one for each
subdomain (service) on example.com. Another annoying thing is that
existence of _esni.www.example.com TXT record will prevent expansion
of *.example.com A/AAAA for www.example.com. The solution would be to
request new DNS RR type for ESNI which could be used with
*.example.com DNS name.

And that's also the subject of the DNS query in order to obtain the keys. The DNS query and SNI leak similar amounts of information (although perhaps to different parties), so an encrypted DoT or DoH is an important part of the system.
