Well, AXFR is not strictly necessary. E.g. implementation of RFC 7706-like feature in Knot Resolver pulls zone file from a HTTPS URL so it can reuse any CDN you like (or not). After all 7706 implementation is just an optimization so it might use non-DNS service if desired and nothing bad would happen if it is not available. (It is important to note that our implementation imports data from zone file into cache so it will simply expire and naturally fallback to full recursion if subsequent refresh attemps fail.) -- Petr Špaček @ CZ.NIC _______________________________________________ DNSOP mailing list DNSOP@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop
