Abstract

This document defines two complementary mechanisms to improve user experience and policy transparency in DNS-based filtering. The first mechanism enhances Response Policy Zone (RPZ) operation through Extended DNS Error (EDE) signaling. The second introduces a new URI-REDIRECT (URI-R) Resource Record to support secure, application-level redirection for both HTTP and HTTPS traffic. Each mechanism can operate independently or together, enabling network operators and resolvers to provide safer, TLS-compliant redirection for policy-enforced domains.
