I'm with Dave on this. There is nothing wrong with telling endpoints, “Don't transmit queries for .ALT." That is indeed the whole point. Paul, you're right: we can't stop applications from not doing this, but we can tell them what Good looks like.Eliot On 21.10.22 23:39, David Conrad wrote:This is true for all IETF protocols/specifications. Are you arguing RFC 2119 “MUST” is pointless? As far as I understand, the point of 2119 language is to be explicit in expected behaviors, not to imply that the Internet Police will hunt you down if you violate them. If the intent here is that .alt names should never be looked up via the DNS, then MUST NOT is the expected behavior, no?
