Technical Summary
This document defines an extensible method to return additional
information about the cause of DNS errors. Though created primarily
to extend SERVFAIL to provide additional information about the cause
of DNS and DNSSEC failures, the Extended DNS Errors option defined
in this document allows all response types to contain extended error
information.
Working Group Summary
The document went through a rigorous consensus process, and there were
several points which took a few iterations to resolve, but they were
all resolved to strong approval from the working group.
Document Quality
There are no current implementations, but both software vendors and
third party DNS providers are planning to implement these error codes
now that the specifics have been agreed on.
