QueryGraph This document defines the ANAME DNS resource record. ANAME provides name-to-name indirection for address queries while allowing other resource record types to exist at the same owner name. It is therefore usable at a zone apex. This document also defines authoritative processing, TTL and failure behavior, DNSSEC considerations, and interoperable transport of ANAME records in full and incremental zone transfers. In particular, each ANAME-capable authoritative server resolves the transferred target independently. This avoids treating transient, synthesized address records as the portable source of zone data.
