Agreed. I would suggest that another goal should be to move away from proprietary systems which attempt to lock content publishers into specific CDNs to the exclusion of others. That is, essentially, single-homing on the content side, and is just as bad an idea as monopoly-enforced single-homing on the eyeball side. Multi-signer DNSSEC was a step in the right direction, I think. Anything which entrenches DNS inside CNS because the CDN is too stupid to function without even-stupider DNS tricks that break, for instance, zone transfer, is really bad. And we’re at that point. There are people who have data in CDNs, where the CDN tells them that they can only use that CDN’s associated DNS, and are either anti-competitively unwilling to support standards-based redundant DNS, or have broken things so badly that they’re technologically incapable of it. Either is bad. > On Jun 29, 2024 10:36, Jim Reid <j...@rfc1035.com> wrote: > I agree this shouldn’t (doesn’t?) need to be standardised. > However if the side meeting is able a make valid case for work on the topic, > it deserves to be heard.
