The IESG has approved the following document: - 'DNS Glue Requirements in Referral Responses' (draft-ietf-dnsop-glue-is-not-optional-09.txt) as Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Domain Name System Operations Working Group. The IESG contact persons are Warren Kumari and Robert Wilton. A URL of this Internet-Draft is: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-glue-is-not-optional/ Technical Summary The DNS uses glue records to allow iterative clients to find the addresses of name servers that are contained within a delegated zone. Authoritative Servers are expected to return all available glue records for in-domain name servers in a referral response. If message size constraints prevent the inclusion of all glue records for in-domain name servers, the server MUST set the TC flag to inform the client that the response is incomplete, and that the client SHOULD use another transport to retrieve the full response. This document updates RFC 1034 to clarify correct server behavior. Working Group Summary This document has been around for some time and has benefited from discussion among multiple DNS protocol implementers. This doesn't represent a large number of people but it does represent a major portion of those who will have to implement and maintain the behavior described. The most difficult point was differences in usage of some specific terminology ("bailiwick"). This was handled by eliminating use of the term here and adding it to draft-ietf-dnsop-8499bis, which notes that the term is confusing and should be considered historic. Document Quality This document has only very limited applicability to new implementations; it's a clarification of a much older specification (RFC 1034). Implementers took part in discussion of the draft and will be able to update their software where it differs from the standard as clarified here. Personnel Suzanne Woolf is DS. Warren "Ace" Kumari is RAD!!!!
