Abstract

   DNS answers for SVCB and HTTPS resource records are typically treated
   as scoped to the network on which they were obtained.  This requires
   clients to re-resolve DNS when changing network attachments, adding
   latency to connection establishment.  This document defines a new
   SvcParamKey, "globally-relevant", for use in SVCB and HTTPS DNS
   resource records as defined in [RFC9460].  When present, this boolean
   flag indicates that the service binding parameters in the record are
   valid regardless of the client's network attachment point.  Clients
   that observe this flag can reuse cached SVCB and HTTPS records across
   network changes, subject to normal TTL expiry.

Internet-Draft         Globally Relevant HTTPS RRs             July 2026

1.  Introduction

   When a client changes its network attachment, for example, by
   switching from one Wi-Fi network to another, transitioning between
   Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, or connecting or disconnecting a
   VPN, current practice requires it to re-resolve DNS records for
   connections on the new network attachment.  This is because DNS
   answers may be network-specific due to split-horizon DNS deployments,
   geographic load balancing, or network-level content policies.  The
   re-resolution adds latency to connection establishment after every
   network transition, delaying the user experience.

   Many widely-used services, however, serve DNS answers that are
   identical regardless of which network the query traverses.  Their
   HTTPS and SVCB resource records, including ALPN protocol identifiers,
   Encrypted ClientHello (ECH) configurations, port numbers, and address
   hints, are globally consistent.  For these services, re-resolving DNS
   after a network change is unnecessary overhead that delays connection
   establishment without providing any benefit.

   This document defines a new SvcParamKey called "globally-relevant"
   for SVCB and HTTPS resource records [RFC9460].  It is a boolean flag
   with an empty value that authoritative DNS servers set to indicate
   the record's service binding parameters are valid regardless of
   network context.  Clients observing this flag MAY continue using
   cached SVCB and HTTPS records after network transitions, avoiding the
   latency of re-resolution.

   This mechanism is strictly opt-in.  Services that do not include the
   "globally-relevant" SvcParamKey continue with current behavior, and
   their records are treated as network-scoped as they are today.

2.  Conventions and Definitions

   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and
   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described in
   BCP 14 [RFC2119] [RFC8174] when, and only when, they appear in all
   capitals, as shown here.

   The following terms are used in this document:

   Network attachment change:  A change in the client's network
      connectivity, such as switching from one Wi-Fi network to another,
      transitioning between Wi-Fi and cellular connectivity, or
      connecting or disconnecting a VPN.

   Authoritative server:  A DNS server that is authoritative for a zone

Kinnear, et al.          Expires 7 January 2027                 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft         Globally Relevant HTTPS RRs             July 2026

      and generates responses for names in that zone, as defined in
      [RFC9499].

   Recursive resolver:  A DNS resolver that resolves queries on behalf
      of a client by iteratively querying authoritative servers, as
      defined in [RFC9499].

   Origin server:  The server that terminates the client's transport
      connection to the service identified by an SVCB or HTTPS resource
      record.  For HTTP-based services, this is the origin server as
      defined in Section 3.6 of [RFC9110].  The ipv4hint and ipv6hint
      parameters of an SVCB or HTTPS record are hints for reaching this
      server.

   Operator:  In this document, an entity that runs both the
      authoritative server for a service's zone and the origin server
      for that service.  Where a single operator holds both roles, it
      can correlate observations between DNS queries and connections.

3.  The "globally-relevant" SvcParamKey

   The "globally-relevant" SvcParamKey is a boolean flag parameter for
   SVCB and HTTPS resource records [RFC9460].  Its presence indicates
   that the authoritative DNS server asserts the service binding
   parameters in this record are valid regardless of the client's
   network attachment point.

3.1.  Wire Format

   The SvcParamKey number is TBD.  The value MUST be empty (length 0),
   following the same pattern as "no-default-alpn" (SvcParamKey 2)
   defined in Section 7.1.2 of [RFC9460].  If a client receives this
   SvcParamKey with a non-empty value, the client MUST ignore the
   parameter.

3.2.  Presentation Format

   In DNS zone file presentation format, the key is represented as
   simply globally-relevant with no value.  For example:

   example.com. 300 IN HTTPS 1 . alpn=h2,h3 globally-relevant

3.3.  Applicability

   This parameter is applicable to both SVCB (RR type 64) and HTTPS (RR
   type 65) resource records.  It is only meaningful in ServiceMode
   records (those with SvcPriority greater than 0) that carry service
   binding parameters.  It has no meaning in AliasMode records.

Internet-Draft         Globally Relevant HTTPS RRs             July 2026

4.  Client Behavior

   When a client receives an SVCB or HTTPS record containing the
   "globally-relevant" SvcParamKey, it MAY retain the cached record and
   continue using its service parameters after a network attachment
   change.

   The record's TTL still applies.  The "globally-relevant" flag does
   not extend the record's cache lifetime; it only permits reuse of the
   cached record across network changes within the remaining TTL window.

   If a client experiences connection failures when using cached
   parameters after a network change, it SHOULD re-resolve the record
   regardless of the "globally-relevant" flag.

   Clients MAY choose to ignore the "globally-relevant" flag entirely
   and always re-resolve on network changes.  This flag is purely
   permissive and does not mandate any specific client behavior.

   When address hints (ipv4hint, ipv6hint) are present in a record
   carrying the "globally-relevant" flag, the globally-relevant
   assertion covers those hints as well.  Clients MAY use the cached
   address hints on the new network, though they SHOULD prefer fresh
   address resolution if readily available and MAY choose to re-resolve
   in parallel with connection attempts to the cached address hints.

4.1.  Address Synthesis Across Networks

   On IPv6-only networks that provide NAT64 connectivity [RFC6146],
   clients can synthesize IPv6 addresses from IPv4 addresses using the
   network's NAT64 prefix, discovered via Router Advertisements
   [RFC8781] or DNS-based mechanisms [RFC7050].  The "globally-relevant"
   flag asserts that the addresses in ipv4hint and ipv6hint are globally
   valid as published by the authoritative server; it does not assert
   the validity of any locally-synthesized addresses derived from those
   hints.

   If a client has synthesized an IPv6 address from an ipv4hint value
   using one network's NAT64 prefix, it MUST NOT reuse that synthesized
   address after moving to a different network.  Instead, the client
   MUST re-synthesize using the NAT64 prefix of the new network, if
   available.  The original ipv4hint value itself remains valid and can
   be used as input to the new synthesis.

Internet-Draft         Globally Relevant HTTPS RRs             July 2026

5.  Server Behavior

   An authoritative DNS server SHOULD set the "globally-relevant"
   SvcParamKey only when the service binding parameters in the record
   are consistent across all resolvers and network paths.  This
   typically applies to globally-deployed services with uniform
   configurations.

   Services that employ split-horizon DNS, geo-dependent load balancing,
   or network-specific configurations MUST NOT set this flag.  The flag
   asserts that all parameters in the record, including ALPN values, ECH
   configurations, and port numbers, are globally valid.  If any
   parameter varies by network context, the flag MUST NOT be set.

   In particular, if the record includes ipv4hint or ipv6hint
   parameters, the addresses contained in those hints MUST be reachable
   and correct on all networks, not just the network on which the record
   was originally resolved.  Servers that use address hints to direct
   clients to network-specific endpoints (e.g., CDN edge nodes selected
   by resolver location) MUST NOT set the "globally-relevant" flag
   unless those address hints are valid globally.

   Operators are strongly suggested to carefully audit their DNS
   configurations before deploying the "globally-relevant" flag, as
   incorrect use could cause clients to use inappropriate service
   parameters after network changes.

6.  Resolver Behavior

   Recursive resolvers MUST pass the "globally-relevant" SvcParamKey
   through to clients transparently, without modification.

   Resolvers MUST NOT add or remove the "globally-relevant" flag.  The
   assertion of global relevance is made by the authoritative server for
   the zone, and resolvers are not in a position to make or override
   this determination.

   Some resolvers modify DNS responses for operational purposes, such as
   DNS64 synthesis [RFC6147] or content filtering.  When a resolver
   synthesizes or rewrites a response, it is effectively acting as the
   authoritative source for that modified answer.  Such synthesized
   answers SHOULD NOT carry the "globally-relevant" flag, as the
   resolver cannot assert that its locally-modified response is valid on
   other networks.

Internet-Draft         Globally Relevant HTTPS RRs             July 2026

7.  Security Considerations

7.1.  Incorrect Use

   If an authoritative server incorrectly sets the "globally-relevant"
   flag on a record whose parameters vary by network, clients may use
   inappropriate service configurations after a network change.  This
   could manifest as connection failures or as connections to unintended
   endpoints if address hints are incorrect for the client's new
   network.  Operators bear responsibility for ensuring the flag is only
   set on records with truly globally-consistent parameters.

   Clients MUST NOT reuse cached address hints across network changes
   for connections that are not authenticated by a security protocol,
   such as TLS.  This allows clients to reject connections established
   to an address that responds to incoming packets, but no longer
   represents the desired host.

7.2.  Network Filtering

   Some networks apply DNS-based content filtering or access control
   policies.  The "globally-relevant" flag allows clients to skip DNS
   re-resolution when joining such networks, which means the network's
   filtered DNS responses would not be applied to cached records.
   However, this does not meaningfully weaken network-level controls:
   users can already bypass DNS-level filtering by using alternative
   resolvers, encrypted DNS, or connecting directly to known IP
   addresses in some cases.  Networks that require effective traffic
   control already need to enforce policies at layers beyond DNS, such
   as IP-level or SNI-based firewalling.  The "globally-relevant" flag
   does not change this.

7.3.  DNSSEC Considerations

   Where DNSSEC validation is employed, the "globally-relevant" flag
   does not change validation requirements.  Cached records that were
   validated remain usable as long as the DNSSEC signatures have not
   expired.  Clients performing DNSSEC validation MUST NOT reuse a
   cached record if the DNSSEC signature has expired, even if the
   record's TTL has not.

7.4.  Downgrade and Upgrade Attacks

   An on-path attacker that can modify DNS responses could strip the
   "globally-relevant" flag from records, causing clients to re-resolve
   unnecessarily after network changes.  This degrades performance to
   current behavior but does not otherwise affect security.

Kinnear, et al.          Expires 7 January 2027                 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft         Globally Relevant HTTPS RRs             July 2026

   An on-path attacker could also add the "globally-relevant" flag to a
   record that the authoritative server did not mark as globally
   relevant.  The impact of this is limited: the client may reuse a
   record that would otherwise have been re-resolved, which is only
   problematic if the record was network-specific, and the resulting
   connection will fail to authenticate the host.  DNSSEC also protects
   against both of these modification attacks, when deployed.

8.  Privacy Considerations

8.1.  Cross-Network Client Tracking via Unique Addresses

   The "globally-relevant" flag permits a client to use cached ipv6hint
   (or ipv4hint) addresses across network attachment changes.  An
   operator that wishes to track a specific client across networks could
   exploit this by having its authoritative server return a per-client
   unique address, for example by encoding a client identifier in some
   of the bits of an IPv6 address, and then observing the resulting
   connections at its origin server from multiple networks.  Because the
   client reuses the cached address after a network change, the operator
   observes the same unique address connecting to its origin server from
   a different network and links a single client identity to both
   networks.

   Without "globally-relevant", the client would re-resolve on the new
   network, and the authoritative server would issue a fresh unique
   address for that resolution.  The operator would have no DNS-derived
   signal linking the resolutions as the same client, and the
   connections arriving at the origin server would carry different
   addresses, offering no linkage there either.  The cross-network
   linkage exists in this design only because the unique address itself
   acts as a stable identifier that the client carries across networks
   instead of being replaced at each resolution.

   Section 7.1 of [RFC9076] recognizes a related class of attack in
   which a user is "re-identified via DNS queries... regardless of the
   location from which the user makes those queries", based on query-
   pattern correlation across time.  The cross-network linkage described
   in this section achieves the same result through a different
   mechanism: rather than correlating recurring query patterns observed
   by a passive watcher, an operator actively seeds a chosen identifier
   into the response returned by its authoritative server and recognizes
   it when the client connects to the resulting address at the origin
   server.

8.1.1.  Comparison to Existing Tracking Vectors

8.1.1.1.  Recursive Resolvers and Anonymity Sets

   An authoritative server that returns a per-client unique answer today
   already observes that answer being requested by a specific recursive
   resolver.  For clients using a shared public or ISP recursive
   resolver, the authoritative server sees the recursive resolver's
   address, and the client is part of an anonymity set composed of that
   recursive resolver's other users (see Section 6.2 of [RFC9076]).  The
   set's size depends on the deployment (see Section 3.3 of [RFC6973]
   for definitions of anonymity sets).

   This "hiding" by the recursive resolver is incomplete where the EDNS
   Client Subnet (ECS) option [RFC7871] is used.  Section 6.2 of
   [RFC9076] notes that with ECS, the authoritative name server "sees
   the original IP address (or prefix, depending on the setup)" rather
   than only the recursive resolver's address.  An authoritative server
   returning a per-client unique answer can therefore correlate that
   answer with the client's subnet on each fresh resolution, providing
   some cross-network correlation even without the "globally-relevant"
   flag.

   Without the "globally-relevant" flag, the authoritative server's view
   is partitioned by recursive resolver: it sees one anonymity set per
   recursive resolver, and a single client moving between networks that
   use different recursive resolvers appears as independent observations
   from disjoint sets.  Caching at each recursive resolver further
   limits how often the authoritative server is queried at all.

   The "globally-relevant" flag allows the operator to join observations
   that would otherwise have been separated by recursive resolver
   boundaries, effectively intersecting the per-recursive-resolver
   anonymity sets and shrinking the set in which any one client is
   hidden (see Section 5.2.1 of [RFC6973]).

8.1.1.2.  AliasMode and CNAME Targets

   A similar tracking primitive is already available without the
   "globally-relevant" flag.  Authoritative servers can return per-
   client unique CNAME targets, SVCB AliasMode targets (Section 2.4.2 of
   [RFC9460]), or other names that function as client identifiers.

   However, the "globally-relevant" attack described here is harder to
   mount than these similar attacks, since a unique IPv4 or IPv6 address
   used as an ipv4hint or ipv6hint value must actually be routable to
   the operator's origin server from every network the client uses,
   whereas a unique CNAME or AliasMode target is merely a label that the

Kinnear, et al.          Expires 7 January 2027                 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft         Globally Relevant HTTPS RRs             July 2026

   client subsequently resolves through its local recursive resolver,
   ultimately pointing at a shared address that the operator already
   serves.

   The label-based approach therefore costs the operator only a DNS
   record per identifier, while the address-based approach costs an IP
   address per identifier and the routing infrastructure to receive
   traffic on each.

   An arbitrarily long CNAME (or DNAME-induced CNAME) chain reintroduces
   the same tracking capability, because the final A or AAAA record in
   the chain can encode a per-client identifier in either its name or
   its address, and clients caching across networks would carry the
   chain's terminal answer with them.  [RFC1034] and [RFC6672] do not
   normatively limit CNAME chain length, and Section 2.2 of [RFC6672]
   explicitly notes that "fairly lengthy valid chains" may occur.  SVCB
   itself requires clients and recursive resolvers to cap AliasMode
   chains at some implementation-chosen depth (Section 2.4.2 of
   [RFC9460]), but that cap applies only to SVCB aliases, not to CNAME
   redirections.  Implementations can bound CNAME chain following for
   resource reasons, but the limit is not interoperable.

   Defending against attacks using CNAME chains is out-of-scope for this
   document, but implementations of "globally-relevant" SHOULD generally
   apply the same cross-network caching policy to all elements of an
   alias chain consistently, reusing either all records in the chain
   after a network change or none, to avoid creating partial-reuse
   states that have privacy properties differing from either endpoint of
   the chain.

8.1.1.3.  Encrypted DNS and ODoH

   Encrypted transports such as DNS-over-TLS [RFC7858], DNS-over-HTTPS
   [RFC8484], and Oblivious DNS-over-HTTPS [RFC9230] protect the DNS
   query against on-path observers but do not prevent an authoritative
   server from returning a per-client unique answer.  Section 6.1.4.1 of
   [RFC9076] notes that "use of encrypted transports does not reduce the
   data available in the recursive resolver".

Kinnear, et al.          Expires 7 January 2027                [Page 10]
Internet-Draft         Globally Relevant HTTPS RRs             July 2026

   ODoH in particular hides the client's IP address from the recursive
   resolver (the "Target" in Section 4 of [RFC9230]) and the query
   contents from the proxy, but its threat model treats the
   authoritative server returning unique records per-client as out of
   scope.  A Target or any downstream authoritative server "could return
   a DNS answer corresponding to an entity it controls and then observe
   the subsequent connection from a Client" (see Section 11 of
   [RFC9230]).  The "globally-relevant" flag does not change this on a
   single network, but it does extend the same attack surface across
   networks, subject to the constraints described above.

8.1.2.  Client Mitigations

   Clients implementing this specification SHOULD apply the following
   mitigations to limit the cross-network tracking risk:

   *  Treat ipv4hint and ipv6hint values that appear unlikely to be
      shared with many other clients as candidates for re-resolution
      after a network change, even when the "globally-relevant" flag is
      present.  Examples include addresses outside well-known anycast
      ranges, addresses that appear unique to a single client, and
      addresses with high entropy in the host bits.

   *  When re-resolving a globally-relevant record on a new network in
      the background (for example, to refresh before TTL expiry), if the
      new network blocks or refuses the resolution, stop using the
      cached record rather than continuing to connect to the previously
      cached address.  A failed refresh on a network that otherwise
      resolves DNS is a signal that the cached parameters may not be
      appropriate for the new network, regardless of the flag.

   *  Apply existing privacy protections for address hints uniformly to
      globally-relevant records, including the requirement in
      Section 7.1 that cached address hints not be reused across network
      changes for connections that are not authenticated by a security
      protocol such as TLS.
