As promised, here's an -01 that addresses the concrete feedback in the adoption thread. A brief summary is in the doc https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-dnsop-let-localhost-be-localhost-01#appendix-B.1, but an even briefer summary is that it removes the waffling on the secure delegation question by mandating the current behavior of returning NXDOMAIN along with NSEC records constituting a secure denial of existence. That seemed to me to be where the thread's consensus landed.
I welcome any and all feedback on the draft. :) -mike On Tue, Oct 24, 2017 at 2:17 PM, <internet-dra...@ietf.org> wrote: > > A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts > directories. > This draft is a work item of the Domain Name System Operations WG of the > IETF. > > Title : Let 'localhost' be localhost. > Author : Mike West > Filename : draft-ietf-dnsop-let- > localhost-be-localhost-01.txt > Pages : 9 > Date : 2017-10-24 > > Abstract: > This document updates RFC6761 with the goal of ensuring that > "localhost" can be safely relied upon as a name for the local host's > loopback interface.
