1.  Introduction

   DHCPv4 [RFC2131], DHCPv6 [RFC3646], and IPv6 Router Announcements
   [RFC8106] all provide means to inform clients of available resolvers
   using the incumbent DNS protocol for querying, however there is no
   means of specifying alternate protocols to perform DNS queries.

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.

3.  The DNS over TLS Option

3.1.  IPv4 DHCP Option

   The format of the IPv4 DoT DHCP option is shown below.

   Type:  TODO (one octet)

   Length:  8-bit unsigned integer representing the entire length of all
      fields, in units of 8 bytes.  The minimum value is 3 if one DNS
      server is contained in the option.  Every additional DNS server
      increases the length by 2.  This field is used by the receiver to
      determine the number of DNS server addresses in the option.

Peterson                Expires October 29, 2019                [Page 3]
Internet-Draft   DoT using DHCP or Router Advertisements      April 2019

   DNS Servers:  One or more IPv6 addresses of DNS servers.  The number
      of addresses is determined by the Length field.  That is, the
      number of addresses is equal to (Length - 1) / 2.

4.  Security Considerations

   An attacker with the ability to inject DHCP messages could include
   this option and present a malicious resolver.

   TODO: Further risk and threat assessments.

5.  IANA Considerations

   TODO: This section must be updated after assignments have been
   issued.

   This document requires the assignment of an option code assigned
   under the "BOOTP Vendor Extensions and DHCP Options"
   [bootp-registry], in addition to an option code assigned under the
   "Option Codes" registry under DHCPv6 parameters [dhcpv6-registry].

   Also, an assignment for an IPv6 RA Option Type from the "IPv6
   Neighbor Discovery Option Formats" registry under ICMPv6 paramters
   [icmpv6-registry].
