Omniscient AS112 Servers
draft-wkumari-dnsop-omniscient-as112-02
Abstract
The AS112 Project loosely coordinates Domain Name System (DNS)
servers to which DNS zones corresponding to private use addresses are
delegated. Queries for names within those zones have no useful
responses in a global context. The purpose of this project is to
reduce the load of such junk queries on the authoritative name
servers that would otherwise receive them, and instead direct the
load to name servers operated within the AS112 project.
Adding and dropping zones from the AS112 servers is difficult, due to
the loosely-coordinated nature of the project. This document
proposes a mechanism by which AS112 name servers could answer
authoritatively for all possible zones. This eliminates the add/drop
problem, changing it to a matter of delegation within the DNS and
requiring no operational changes on the servers themselves.
This document updates RFC 6304.
