A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 3755 Title: Legacy Resolver Compatibility for Delegation Signer (DS) Author(s): S. Weiler Status: Standards Track Date: May 2004 Mailbox: weiler@tislabs.com Pages: 9 Characters: 19812 Updates: 3658, 2535 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-2535typecode-change-06.txt URL: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc3755.txt As the DNS Security (DNSSEC) specifications have evolved, the syntax and semantics of the DNSSEC resource records (RRs) have changed. Many deployed nameservers understand variants of these semantics. Dangerous interactions can occur when a resolver that understands an earlier version of these semantics queries an authoritative server that understands the new delegation signer semantics, including at least one failure scenario that will cause an unsecured zone to be unresolvable. This document changes the type codes and mnemonics of the DNSSEC RRs (SIG, KEY, and NXT) to avoid those interactions. This document a product of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the IETF. This is now a Proposed Standard Protocol. This document specifies an Internet standards track protocol for the Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvements. Please refer to the current edition of the "Internet Official Protocol Standards" (STD 1) for the standardization state and status of this protocol. Distribution of this memo is unlimited.
