 A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts 
 directories. This draft is a work item of the Roaming Operations Working 
 Group of the IETF.                                                        

       Title     : The Roaming Relationship (RR) Record in the DNS

This document describes the use of the Roaming Relationship (RR) record in 
the DNS for the description of inter-domain business relationships, as 
required for enabling of roaming. In the absence of DNS security, RR 
records may be used for determining the existence of a business 
relationship between the local ISP and the user's home domain, as well as 
the location of an appropriate settlement agent.  However, since the RR 
records are not secured, other methods (such as hierarchical authentication
routing) must be used in order to validate the business relationship path. 
When DNS security is implemented, the business relationship path is 
authenticated via digital signatures, and as a result, additional services 
may be provided, such as non-repudiation of proxied authentications and 
signed receipts for accounting record transfers.

Send a message to:  [e-mail]. In the body type: 
     "FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-roamops-dnsrr-00.txt".
							
NOTE: The mail server at ds.internic.net can return the document in
      MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
      feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
      command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
      a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
      exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
      "multipart" MIME messages (i.e., documents which have been split
      up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
      how to manipulate these messages.
							
							

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader 
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version
of the Internet-Draft.
