The following errata report has been submitted for RFC7686, "The ".onion" Special-Use Domain Name".
-------------------------------------- You may review the report below and at: https://www.rfc-editor.org/errata/eid6761 -------------------------------------- Type: Technical Reported by: Peter van Dijk <peter.van.d...@powerdns.com> Section: 2 Original Text ------------- 5. Authoritative DNS Servers: Authoritative servers MUST respond to queries for .onion with NXDOMAIN. 6. DNS Server Operators: Operators MUST NOT configure an authoritative DNS server to answer queries for .onion. If they do so, client software is likely to ignore any results (see above). Corrected Text -------------- 5. Authoritative DNS Servers: Authoritative servers MUST respond non-authoritatively to queries for names in .onion. 6. DNS Server Operators: Operators MUST NOT configure an authoritative DNS server to answer authoritatively to queries for names in .onion. If they do so, client software is likely to ignore any results (see above). Notes ----- The original text for 5 and 6 is conflicting. A name server cannot respond with NXDOMAIN (which is an authoritative answer) without having a zone configured to serve that NXDOMAIN from. Clearly the intent of the text is that clients will not find authoritative answers to .onion queries anywhere in the DNS. Instructions: ------------- This erratum is currently posted as "Reported". If necessary, please use "Reply All" to discuss whether it should be verified or rejected. When a decision is reached, the verifying party can log in to change the status and edit the report, if necessary. -------------------------------------- RFC7686 (draft-ietf-dnsop-onion-tld-01) -------------------------------------- Title : The ".onion" Special-Use Domain Name Publication Date : October 2015 Author(s) : J.
