They are commonly used (see for instance <https://mex.icann.org/ar/file/22921/download/23075>) when discussing resolvers' behaviour. Let me suggest: Child-centric resolver: a DNS resolver which will replace, in its memory, the NS RRset and glue records obtained from the parent, by data from the authoritative servers of the zone they belong to. This is the proper behaviour. Parent-centric resolver: a DNS resolver which will keep in memory the NS RRset and glue records obtained from the parent, despite the fact it is non-authoritative. This is bad practice. _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
