How do we know what zone, if any, the default resolver is authoritative for? What if it can support some push notifications we want, but for others we need to talk to the authoritative server?

How about "would normally"? Given that we specify how clients handle the exceptional case, there's no reason to get fussy about this here. BTW, we really ought to have a document that describes this stuff, so that we can reference it. It's a fairly common operation. changed to “would normally”. > > At the bottom of Page 16 (the end of section 6.2.1) it might be good to add some text acknowledging the recent deprecation of ANY queries, and explicitly saying why they are not deprecated here. This avoids the risk of DNSOP experts tripping on this, although they will probably see the utility. This is the only thing I didn’t change yet. Looking at https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-refuse-any-07 doesn’t exactly say it’s deprecated and our wording seems consistent with the options given. I don’t understand how this could trip up DNSOP experts. > The table in 6.2.2 is introduced by saying "Supported RCODEs are as follows:" but then lists NXDOMAIN, for the purpose of explicitly repeating that it is not supported. Subsequent text also refers to the table as if all the RCODEs are permitted. This needs to be fixed. I would take NXDOMAIN out of the table and just be really explicit about how it's not allowed. 6.5.2 has the same issue, with the same cure. Fixed. > > Also in 6.2.2: > > For RCODE = 2 (SERVFAIL) the delay should be chosen according to the level of server overload and the anticipated duration of that overload.

Also, if we haven't received an update from the server saying that the TTL has a new value, then the TTL doesn't have a new value—it's still whatever the server sent last time. So it would actually be correct to never decrement the TTL while a subscription is active. So I would suggest: > > The TTL of an added record is stored by the client.

Sounds good. > > Section 7.4 talks about TLS session resumption and that subscriptions have to be reinstantiated, but implies without stating explicitly that closing a TLS session closes the DSO session.

Also, I don't think you've given enough information for the service name registration. Split the table and added a “none" port for clarity. Thanks again! Tom
