Technical Summary

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 and diagnostics since the version and the
data 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].
