Ballot Text

Technical Summary

   This document extends the use of DNS NOTIFY (RFC 1996) beyond
   conventional zone transfer hints, bringing the benefits of ad-hoc
   notifications to DNS delegation maintenance in general.  Use cases
   include DNSSEC bootstrapping and key rollovers hints, and quicker
   changes to a delegation's NS record set.

   To enable this functionality, a method for discovering the receiver
   endpoint for such notification message is introduced, via the new
   DSYNC record type.

Working Group Summary

   Initially there were two different drafts discussing possible solutions. The
   Working Group suggested the authors combine their work into one document, which
   they did.  Consensus has been very solid.


Document Quality

   
   No DNS protocol changes are introduced by this document.  The
   mechanism instead makes use of a wider range of DNS messages allowed
   by the protocol.  Future extension for further use cases (such as
   multi-signer key exchange) is possible.


   Section 7 lists an example implementation, and the authors have been working
   with others to deploy this.

Personnel

   Tim Wicinski is DS.
   Warren "Ace" Kumari is RAD!!!!!!!!! (and sad that this is the last time he gets to use this joke...)
