A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts
directories. This draft is a work item of the DNS IXFR, Notification, and
Dynamic Update Working Group of the IETF.
Title : Negative Caching of DNS Queries (DNS NCACHE)
Author(s) : M. Andrews
Filename : draft-ietf-dnsind-ncache-00.txt
Pages : 3
Date : 01/10/1997
When [RFC1034] was written there were no DNS servers that implemented
negative caching [RFC1034 Section 4.3.4]. This document replaces [RFC1034
Section 4.3.4] in the light of experience.
Negative caching is a optional part of the DNS specification and deals with
the caching of the non-existence of a RRset or domainname.
Internet-Drafts are available by anonymous FTP. Login with the username
"anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After logging in,
type "cd internet-drafts" and then
"get draft-ietf-dnsind-ncache-00.txt".
A URL for the Internet-Draft is:

Internet-Drafts are also available by mail.
Send a message to: mailserv@ds.internic.net. In the body type:
"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dnsind-ncache-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.
