Title: Running a Root Server Local to a Resolver Author: W. Kumari, P. Hoffman Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: June 2020 Mailbox: war...@kumari.net, paul.hoff...@icann.org Pages: 12 Obsoletes: RFC 7706 I-D Tag: draft-ietf-dnsop-7706bis-12.txt URL: https://www.rfc-editor.org/info/rfc8806 DOI: 10.17487/RFC8806 Some DNS recursive resolvers have longer-than-desired round-trip times to the closest DNS root server; those resolvers may have difficulty getting responses from the root servers, such as during a network attack. Some DNS recursive resolver operators want to prevent snooping by third parties of requests sent to DNS root servers. In both cases, resolvers can greatly decrease the round-trip time and prevent observation of requests by serving a copy of the full root zone on the same server, such as on a loopback address or in the resolver software. This document shows how to start and maintain such a copy of the root zone that does not cause problems for other users of the DNS, at the cost of adding some operational fragility for the operator. This document obsoletes RFC 7706. This document is a product of the Domain Name System Operations Working Group of the IETF. INFORMATIONAL: This memo provides information for the Internet community.
