Re: [v6ops] New draft at dnsop a bis for DNS IPv6 Transport Operational Guidelines

[David Farmer <[e-mail]>]

I think Owen is referring to the behavior of DNS clients communicating with
a recursive DNS resolver specified in Section 3.1 of RFC 8305, Happy
Eyeballs v2;

3.1.  Handling Multiple DNS Server Addresses

   If multiple DNS server addresses are configured for the current
   network, the client may have the option of sending its DNS queries
   over IPv4 or IPv6.  In keeping with the Happy Eyeballs approach,
   queries SHOULD be sent over IPv6 first (note that this is not
   referring to the sending of AAAA or A queries, but rather the address
   of the DNS server itself and IP version used to transport DNS
   messages).  If DNS queries sent to the IPv6 address do not receive
   responses, that address may be marked as penalized and queries can be
   sent to other DNS server addresses.

   As native IPv6 deployments become more prevalent and IPv4 addresses
   are exhausted, it is expected that IPv6 connectivity will have
   preferential treatment within networks.  If a DNS server is
   configured to be accessible over IPv6, IPv6 should be assumed to be
   the preferred address family.


On the other hand, Geoff is referring to the behavior of a recursive DNS
resolver communicating with an authoritative DNS server. And I think he is
correct that there isn't any Happy Eyeballs type behavior there.

Thanks.
