Abstract
DHCP provides a mechanism for host configuration that includes
dynamic assignment of IP addresses and fully qualified domain names.
To maintain accurate name to IP address and IP address to name
mappings in the DNS, these dynamically assigned addresses and fully
qualified domain names require updates to the DNS. This document
identifies situations in which conflicts in the use of fully
qualified domain names may arise among DHCP clients and servers, and
describes a strategy for the use of the DHCID DNS resource record in

Internet-Draft Resolution of FQDN Conflicts March 2006
1. Introduction
"The Client FQDN Option" [8] includes a description of the operation
of [4] clients and servers that use the DHCPv4 client FQDN option.
And, "The DHCPv6 Client FQDN Option" [9] includes a description of
the operation of [5] clients and servers that use the DHCPv6 client
FQDN option. Through the use of the client FQDN option, DHCP clients
and servers can negotiate the client's FQDN and the allocation of
responsibility for updating the DHCP client's A and/or AAAA RRs.
This document identifies situations in which conflicts in the use of
FQDNs may arise among DHCP clients and servers, and describes a
strategy for the use of the DHCID DNS resource record [2] in
resolving those conflicts.
In any case, whether a site permits all, some, or no DHCP servers and
clients to perform DNS updates ([3], [10]) into the zones that it
controls is entirely a matter of local administrative policy. This
document does not require any specific administrative policy, and
does not propose one. The range of possible policies is very broad,
from sites where only the DHCP servers have been given credentials
that the DNS servers will accept, to sites where each individual DHCP
client has been configured with credentials that allow the client to
modify its own FQDN. Compliant implementations MAY support some or
all of these possibilities. Furthermore, this specification applies
only to DHCP client and server processes; it does not apply to other
processes that initiate DNS updates.
2. Terminology
The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",
"SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and "OPTIONAL" in this
document are to be interpreted as described in [1].
This document assumes familiarity with DNS terminology defined in [6]
and DHCP terminology defined in [4] and [5].
FQDN, or Fully Qualified Domain Name, is the full name of a system,
rather than just its hostname. For example, "venera" is a hostname
and "venera.isi.edu" is an FQDN. See [7].
DOCSIS, or Data-Over-Cable Service Interface Specifications, is
defined by CableLabs (www.cablelabs.com).
3. Issues with DNS Update in DHCP Environments
There are two DNS update situations that require special
Stapp & Volz Expires September 23, 2006 [Page 3]
Internet-Draft Resolution of FQDN Conflicts March 2006
consideration in DHCP environments: cases where more than one DHCP
client has been configured with the same FQDN and cases where more
than one DHCP server has been given authority to perform DNS updates
in a zone. In these cases, it is possible for DNS records to be
modified in inconsistent ways unless the updaters have a mechanism
that allows them to detect anomalous situations. If DNS updaters can
detect these situations, site administrators can configure the
updaters' behavior so that the site's policies can be enforced. This
specification describes a mechanism designed to allow updaters to
detect these situations, and suggests that DHCP implementations use
this mechanism by default.
3.1. Client Misconfiguration
Administrators may wish to maintain a one-to-one relationship between
active DHCP clients and FQDNs, and to maintain consistency between a
client's A, AAAA, and PTR RRs. Clients that are not represented in
the DNS, or clients that inadvertently share an FQDN with another
client may encounter inconsistent behavior or may not be able to
obtain access to network resources. Whether each DHCP client is
configured with a FQDN by its administrator or whether the DHCP
server is configured to distribute the clients' FQDN, the consistency
of the DNS data is entirely dependent on the accuracy of the
configuration procedure. Sites that deploy [10] may configure
credentials for each client and its assigned FQDN in a way that is
more error-resistant, as both the FQDN and credentials must match.
Consider an example in which two DHCP clients in the "example.com"
network are both configured with the hostname "foo". The clients are
permitted to perform their own DNS updates. The first client, client
A, is configured via DHCP. It adds an A RR to "foo.example.com", and
its DHCP server adds a PTR RR corresponding to its assigned IP
address. When the second client, client B, boots, it is also
configured via DHCP, and it also begins to update "foo.example.com".
At this point, the "example.com" administrators may wish to establish
some policy about DHCP clients' FQDNs. If the policy is that each
client that boots should replace any existing A RR that matches its
FQDN, Client B can proceed, though Client A may encounter problems.
In this example, Client B replaces the A RR associated with
"foo.example.com". Client A must have some way to recognize that the
RR associated with "foo.example.com" now contains information for
Client B, so that it can avoid modifying the RR. When Client A's
assigned IP address expires, for example, it should not remove a RR
that reflects Client B's DHCP assigned IP address.
If the policy is that the first DHCP client with a given FQDN should
be the only client associated with that FQDN, Client B needs to be
Stapp & Volz Expires September 23, 2006 [Page 4]
Internet-Draft Resolution of FQDN Conflicts March 2006
able to determine if it is not the client associated with
"foo.example.com". It could be that Client A booted first, and that
Client B should choose another FQDN. Or it could be that B has
booted on a new subnet, and received a new IP address assignment, in
which case B should update the DNS with its new IP address. It must
either retain persistent state about the last IP address it was
assigned (in addition to its current IP address) or it must have some
other way to detect that it was the last updater of "foo.example.com"
in order to implement the site's policy.
3.2. Multiple DHCP Servers
It is possible to arrange for DHCP servers to perform A and/or AAAA
RR updates on behalf of their clients. If a single DHCP server
manages all of the DHCP clients at a site, it can maintain a database
of the FQDNs in use, and can check that database before assigning a
FQDN to a client. Such a database is necessarily proprietary,
however, and the approach does not work once more than one DHCP
server is deployed.
When multiple DHCP servers are deployed, the servers require a way to
coordinate the identities of DHCP clients. Consider an example in
which DHCPv4 Client A boots, obtains an IP address from Server S1,
presenting the hostname "foo" in a Client FQDN option [8] in its
DHCPREQUEST message. Server S1 updates the FQDN "foo.example.com",
adding an A RR containing the IP address assigned to A. The client
then moves to another subnet, served by Server S2. When Client A
boots on the new subnet, Server S2 will assign it a new IP address,
and will attempt to add an A RR containing the newly assigned IP
address to the FQDN "foo.example.com". At this point, without some
communication mechanism which S2 can use to ask S1 (and every other
DHCP server that updates the zone) about the client, S2 has no way to
know whether Client A is currently associated with the FQDN, or
whether A is a different client configured with the same FQDN. If
the servers cannot distinguish between these situations, they cannot
enforce the site's naming policies.
4. Use of the DHCID RR
A solution to both of these problems is for the updater (a DHCP
client or DHCP server) to be able to determine which DHCP client has
been associated with a FQDN, in order to offer administrators the
opportunity to configure updater behavior.
For this purpose, a DHCID RR, specified in [2], is used to associate
client identification information with a FQDN and the A, AAAA, and
PTR RRs associated with that FQDN. When either a client or server
Stapp & Volz Expires September 23, 2006 [Page 5]
Internet-Draft Resolution of FQDN Conflicts March 2006
adds A, AAAA, or PTR RRs for a client, it also adds a DHCID RR that
specifies a unique client identity, based on data from the client's
DHCP message. In this model, only one client is associated with a
given FQDN at a time.
By associating this ownership information with each FQDN, cooperating
DNS updaters may determine whether their client is currently
associated with a particular FQDN and implement the appropriately
configured administrative policy. In addition, DHCP clients which
currently have FQDNs may move from one DHCP server to another without
losing their FQDNs.
The specific algorithm utilizing the DHCID RR to signal client
ownership is explained below. The algorithm only works in the case
where the updating entities all cooperate -- this approach is
advisory only and is not a substitute for DNS security, nor is it
replaced by DNS security.
5. Procedures for Performing DNS Updates
5.1. Error Return Codes
Certain RCODEs defined in [3] indicate that the destination DNS
server cannot perform an update, i.e., FORMERR, SERVFAIL, REFUSED,
NOTIMP. If one of these RCODEs is returned, the updater MUST
terminate its update attempt. Other RCODEs [13] may indicate that
there are problems with the key being used and may mean to try a
different key, if available, or to terminate the operation. Because
some errors may indicate a misconfiguration of the updater or the DNS
server, the updater MAY attempt to signal to its administrator that
an error has occurred, e.g. through a log message.
5.2. Dual IPv4/IPv6 Client Considerations
At the time of publication of this document, a small minority of DHCP
clients support both IPv4 and IPv6. We anticipate, however, that a
transition will take place over a period of time, and more sites will
have dual-stack clients present. IPv6 clients require updates of
AAAA RRs; IPv4 client require updates of A RRs. The administrators
of mixed deployments will likely wish to permit a single FQDN to
contain A and AAAA RRs from the same client.
Sites that wish to permit a single FQDN to contain both A and AAAA
RRs MUST make use of DHCPv4 clients and servers that support using
the DHCP Unique Identifier (DUID) for DHCPv4 client identifiers such
that this DUID is used in computing the RDATA of the DHCID RR by both
DHCPv4 and DHCPv6 for the client, see [11]. Otherwise, a dual-stack
Stapp & Volz Expires September 23, 2006 [Page 6]
Internet-Draft Resolution of FQDN Conflicts March 2006
client that uses older-style DHCPv4 client identifiers (see [4] and
[12]) will only be able to have either its A or AAAA records in DNS
under a single FQDN because of the DHCID RR conflicts that result.
5.3. Adding A and/or AAAA RRs to DNS
When a DHCP client or server intends to update A and/or AAAA RRs, it
starts with the UPDATE request in Section 5.3.1.
As the update sequence below can result in loops, implementers SHOULD
limit the total number of attempts for a single transaction.
5.3.1. Initial DHCID RR Request
The updater prepares a DNS UPDATE request that includes as a
prerequisite the assertion that the FQDN does not exist. The update
section of the request attempts to add the new FQDN and its IP
address mapping (A and/or AAAA RRs) and the DHCID RR with its unique
client identity.
If the UPDATE request succeeds, the A and/or AAAA RR update is now
complete (and a client updater is finished, while a server would then
proceed to perform a PTR RR update).
If the response to the UPDATE returns YXDOMAIN, the updater can now
conclude that the intended FQDN is in use and proceeds to
Section 5.3.2.
If any other status is returned, the updater SHOULD NOT attempt an
update (see Section 5.1).
5.3.2. DNS UPDATE When FQDN in Use
The updater next attempts to confirm that the FQDN is not being used
by some other client by preparing an UPDATE request in which there
are two prerequisites. The first prerequisite is that the FQDN
exists. The second is that the desired FQDN has attached to it a
DHCID RR whose contents match the client identity. The update
section of the UPDATE request contains:
1. A delete of any existing A RRs on the FQDN if this is an A update
or an AAAA update and the updater does not desire A records on
the FQDN or this update is adding an A and the updater only
desires a single IP address on the FQDN.
2. A delete of the existing AAAA RRs on the FQDN if the updater does
not desire AAAA records on the FQDN or this update is adding an
AAAA and the updater only desires a single IP address on the
FQDN.
Stapp & Volz Expires September 23, 2006 [Page 7]
Internet-Draft Resolution of FQDN Conflicts March 2006
3. An add (or adds) of the A RR that matches the DHCP binding if
this is an A update.
4. Adds of the AAAA RRs that match the DHCP bindings if this is an
AAAA update.
Whether A or AAAA RRs are deleted depends on the updater or updater's
policy. For example, if the updater is the client or configured as
the only DHCP server for the link on which the client is located, the
updater may find it beneficial to delete all A and/or AAAA RRs and
then add the current set of A and/or AAAA RRs, if any, for the
client.
If the UPDATE request succeeds, the updater can conclude that the
current client was the last client associated with the FQDN, and that
the FQDN now contains the updated A and/or AAAA RRs. The update is
now complete (and a client updater is finished, while a server would
then proceed to perform a PTR RR update).
If the response to the UPDATE request returns NXDOMAIN, the FQDN is
no longer in use and the updater proceeds back to Section 5.3.1.
If the response to the UPDATE request returns NXRRSET, there are two
possibilities - there are no DHCID RRs for the FQDN or the DHCID RR
does not match. In either case, the updater proceeds to
Section 5.3.3.
5.3.3. FQDN in Use by another Client
As the FQDN appears to be in use by another client or is not
associated with any client, the updater SHOULD either choose another
FQDN and restart the update process with this new FQDN or terminate
the update with a failure.
Techniques that may be considered to disambiguate FQDNs include
adding some suffix or prefix to the hostname portion of the FQDN or
randomly generating a hostname.
5.4. Adding PTR RR Entries to DNS
The DHCP server submits a DNS UPDATE request that deletes all of the
PTR RRs associated with the client's assigned IP address, and adds a
PTR RR whose data is the client's (possibly disambiguated) FQDN. The
server MAY also add a DHCID RR as specified in Section 4, in which
case it would include a delete of all of the DHCID RRs associated
with the client's assigned IP address, and adds a DHCID RR for the
client.
There is no need to validate the DHCID RR for PTR updates as the DHCP
Stapp & Volz Expires September 23, 2006 [Page 8]
Internet-Draft Resolution of FQDN Conflicts March 2006
server (or servers) only assigns an address to a single client at a
time.
5.5. Removing Entries from DNS
The most important consideration in removing DNS entries is to be
sure that an entity removing a DNS entry is only removing an entry
that it added, or for which an administrator has explicitly assigned
it responsibility.
When an address' lease time or valid lifetime expires or a DHCP
client issues a DHCPRELEASE [4] or Release [5] request, the DHCP
server SHOULD delete the PTR RR that matches the DHCP binding, if one
was successfully added. The server's UPDATE request SHOULD assert
that the domain name (PTRDNAME field) in the PTR record matches the
FQDN of the client whose address has expired or been released and
should delete all RRs for the FQDN.
The entity chosen to handle the A or AAAA records for this client
(either the client or the server) SHOULD delete the A or AAAA records
that were added when the address was assigned to the client.
However, the updater should only remove the DHCID RR if there are no
A or AAAA RRs remaining for the client.
In order to perform this A or AAAA RR delete, the updater prepares an
UPDATE request that contains a prerequisite that asserts that the
DHCID RR exists whose data is the client identity described in
Section 4 and contains an update section that deletes the client's
specific A or AAAA RR.
If the UPDATE request succeeds, the updater prepares a second UPDATE
request that contains three prerequisites and contains an update
section that deletes all RRs for the FQDN. The first prerequisite
asserts that the DHCID RR exists whose data is the client identity
described in Section 4. The second prerequisite asserts that there
are no A RRs. The third prerequisite asserts that there are no AAAA
RRs.
If either request fails, the updater MUST NOT delete the FQDN. It
may be that the client whose address has expired has moved to another
network and obtained an address from a different server, which has
caused the client's A or AAAA RR to be replaced. Or, the DNS data
may have been removed or altered by an administrator.
5.6. Updating Other RRs
The procedures described in this document only cover updates to the
A, AAAA, PTR, and DHCID RRs. Updating other types of RRs is outside
Stapp & Volz Expires September 23, 2006 [Page 9]
Internet-Draft Resolution of FQDN Conflicts March 2006
the scope of this document.
6. Security Considerations
Administrators should be wary of permitting unsecured DNS updates to
zones, whether or not they are exposed to the global Internet. Both
DHCP clients and servers SHOULD use some form of update request
authentication (e.g., TSIG [13]) when performing DNS updates.
Whether a DHCP client may be responsible for updating an FQDN to IP
address mapping, or whether this is the responsibility of the DHCP
server is a site-local matter. The choice between the two
alternatives may be based on the security model that is used with the
Dynamic DNS Update protocol (e.g., only a client may have sufficient
credentials to perform updates to the FQDN to IP address mapping for
its FQDN).
Whether a DHCP server is always responsible for updating the FQDN to
IP address mapping (in addition to updating the IP to FQDN mapping),
regardless of the wishes of an individual DHCP client, is also a
site-local matter. The choice between the two alternatives may be
based on the security model that is being used with dynamic DNS
updates. In cases where a DHCP server is performing DNS updates on
behalf of a client, the DHCP server should be sure of the FQDN to use
for the client, and of the identity of the client.
Currently, it is difficult for DHCP servers to develop much
confidence in the identities of their clients, given the absence of
entity authentication from the DHCP protocol itself. There are many
ways for a DHCP server to develop a FQDN to use for a client, but
only in certain relatively rare circumstances will the DHCP server
know for certain the identity of the client. If [14] becomes widely
deployed this may become more customary.
One example of a situation that offers some extra assurances is when
the DHCP client is connected to a network through a DOCSIS cable
modem, and the Cable Modem Termination System (head-end) of the cable
modem ensures that MAC address spoofing simply does not occur.
Another example of a configuration that might be trusted is when
clients obtain network access via a network access server using PPP.
The Network Access Server (NAS) itself might be obtaining IP
addresses via DHCP, encoding client identification into the DHCP
client-id option. In this case, the NAS as well as the DHCP server
might be operating within a trusted environment, in which case the
DHCP server could be configured to trust that the user authentication
and authorization processing of the NAS was sufficient, and would
therefore trust the client identification encoded within the DHCP

client-id.
