>From past discussions, I didn't think there was any way we could get consensus on the provisioning side. Dynamic lookups on authoritative servers are out, because it has to be compatible with traditional secondaries. Updates on the primary are out, because that doesn't scale to large numbers of zones. Sometimes a system might have known fallback addresses, but often it won't (e.g. whether the DNS setup is or isn't coupled to a web provisioning system). But I think it's reasonable to allow whatever provisioning mechanisms there might be, provided the meaning of answers from auth -> rec have a consistent meaning that resolvers can use. It's also really imortant that ANAME can work in multi-provider setups, so there needs to be something approaching interoperable semantics for importing a zone file into a provisioning system. (Though I think the semantics will have to be very loose in this case, to allow for variations between existing systems.) I haven't seen any objections to support for ANAME in recursive servers so I'm surprised you think that is problematic enough to be removed. My understanding was that recursive support is seen as better than trying to do all the tricks on authoritative servers.
