                      DNS TIMEOUT Resource Record
                 draft-pusateri-dnsop-update-timeout-00

Abstract

   This specification defines a new DNS TIMEOUT resource record (RR)
   that associates a lifetime with one or more zone resource records
   with the same owner name and class.  It is intended to be used to
   transfer resource record lifetime state between a zone's primary and
   secondary servers and to store lifetime state during server software
   restarts.

1.  Introduction

   DNS Update [RFC2136] provides a mechanism to dynamically add/remove
   DNS resource records to/from a zone.  When a resource record is
   dynamically added, it remains in the zone until it is removed
   manually or via a subsequent DNS Update.  A zone administrator may
   want to enforce a default lifetime for dynamic updates (such as the
   DHCP lease lifetime) or the DNS Update may contain a lifetime using
   an EDNS(0) Update Lease option [I-D.sekar-dns-ul].  This lease
   lifetime is not communicated to secondary servers and will not endure
   through server software restarts.  This specification defines a new
   DNS TIMEOUT resource record that associates a lifetime with one or
   more resource records with the same owner name and class that can be
   transferred to secondary servers through normal AXFR [RFC5936], IXFR
   [RFC1995] transfer mechanisms.
