Title : Serving Stale Data to Improve DNS Resiliency

Abstract:
This draft defines a method (serve-stale) for recursive resolvers to
use stale DNS data to avoid outages when authoritative nameservers
cannot be reached to refresh expired data. It updates the definition
of TTL from [RFC1034], [RFC1035], and [RFC2181] to make it clear that
data can be kept in the cache beyond the TTL expiry and used for
responses when a refreshed answer is not readily available. One of
the motivations for serve-stale is to make the DNS more resilient to
DoS attacks, and thereby make them less attractive as an attack
vector.
