Technical Summary

   The Domain Name System (DNS) is defined in literally dozens of
   different RFCs.  The terminology used by implementers and developers
   of DNS protocols, and by operators of DNS systems, has sometimes
   changed in the decades since the DNS was first defined.  This
   document gives current definitions for many of the terms used in the
   DNS in a single document.

   This document obsoletes RFC 8499 and updates RFC 2308.

Working Group Summary

   This is a terminology document, and updates RFC8499. 

   There were a number of terms (e.g sibling, in-bailiwick, lame-delegation)
   whose exact definitions involved significant discussion, and, eventually 
   we determined that some terms are so vague (or are used differently by 
   different people) that they should generally be avoided.



Document Quality

  The document is well written and easy to read. 

  Terminology documents are soul-crushing to write - much thanks to the
  authors for being willing to slog through this!   


Personnel

   Benno Overeinder is DS. 
   Warren "Ace" Kumari is RAD!!!! (and easily amused)
