Hi all,
Based upon some discussion regarding a DISCUSS during IESG review, I am
updating section 5.2 DNS
Current text says:
DNS, as described in [RFC-1034], [RFC-1035], [RFC-3152], [RFC-3363]
and [RFC-3596] MAY be supported. Not all nodes will need to resolve
names. All nodes that need to resolve names SHOULD implement stub-
resolver [RFC-1034] functionality, in RFC 1034 section 5.3.1 with
support for:
- AAAA type Resource Records [RFC-3596];
- reverse addressing in ip6.arpa using PTR records [RFC-3152];
- EDNS0 [RFC-2671] to allow for DNS packet sizes larger than 512
octets.
Suggested new text is:
DNS, is described in [RFC-1034], [RFC-1035], [RFC-3152], [RFC-3363]
and [RFC-3596]. Not all nodes will need to resolve names, and
those that will never need to resolve DNS names do not need to
implement resolver functionality. However, the ability to resolve
names is a basic infrastructure capability that applications rely
on and generally needs to be supported. All nodes that need to
resolve names SHOULD implement stub-resolver [RFC-1034] functionality,
in RFC 1034 section 5.3.1 with support for:
- AAAA type Resource Records [RFC-3596];
- reverse addressing in ip6.arpa using PTR records [RFC-3152];
- EDNS0 [RFC-2671] to allow for DNS packet sizes larger than 512
octets.
Let me know if this causes anyone any trouble.
