The IESG has approved reclassifying the following RFCs as Historic documents: RFC1611 DNS Server MIB Extensions RFC1612 DNS Resolver MIB Extensions In the same action, the IESG approved publication of Applicability Statement for DNS MIB Extensions <draft-ietf-dnsext-dnsmib-historical-00.txt> as an Informational RFC. This document is the product of the DNS Extensions Working Group. The contact persons are Erik Nordmark and Thomas Narten. Technical Summary The document states the reasons for moving RFC 1611 and RFC 1612 to historical: More than six years after the DNS Server and Resolver MIB extensions became proposed standards, there still has not been any significant deployment of these MIB extensions. This note examines the reasons why these MIB extensions were never deployed, and recommends retiring these MIB extensions by moving them to Historical status. Working Group Summary There was consensus in the working group to reclassify the DNS MIB documents. Interested parties where encouraged to form a design team to produce more usable MIBs for DNS and bring them to the DNSEXT WG when they are ready for review. Protocol Quality This document has been reviewed for the IESG by Erik Nordmark. Note to RFC Editor: Please replace the Security Considerations section in draft-ietf-dnsext-dnsmib-historical-00.txt with the following text: Re-classifying an existing MIB document from Proposed Std to Historic does not have any negative impact on security for the Internet.
