SIBLING GLUE address records (A or AAAA)

2009-10-05 Thread Sergio Ramirez
Hi,

   In the following example, the authoritive server for
zone .xx has configured the delegations of the zones example.xx
and otherexample.xx:

example.xx  NS  ns1.example.xx
example.xx  NS  ns2.example.xx
ns1.example.xx A  11.22.33.44
ns2.example.xx A  11.22.33.55
otherexample.xx NS ns3.example.xx
otherexample.xx NS ns4.example.xx

the bind report these messages:

"ns3.example.xx has no SIBLING GLUE address records (A or )"
"ns4.example.xx has no SIBLING GLUE address records (A or )"

because the glue records are not configured in the zone .xx, for
ns3.example.xx and ns4.example.xx

Are these glue records requiered ?

I understand that is not. Is this right ?

Regards,

I would imagine the answer will be that they aren't required but would be
helpful.

Since the parent .xx is delegating to the second-level domains, if you do
glue for all four DNS servers you are preventing a remote DNS server from
having to go to the servers for example.xx to get the A records for the DNS
servers for otherexample.xx.

Thanks for the answer Ben, I agree.
But the problem is if the administrator of zone example.xx
decides to change the ip address of the ns3.example.xx and
ns4.example.xx,  the glue records will be wrong.

That's why is usually a good idea to use nameservers under the domain
name being registered, to "allow" the registry to request for the
corresponding glue and add it to the parent zone.

Whether SIBLING GLUE is needed or not depends on what other glue
there is.

Take this example.  The sibling glue is required for the delegation
to work.

otherexample.xx NS ns3.example.xx
otherexample.xx NS ns4.example.xx

example.xx NS ns1.otherexample.xx
example.xx NS ns2.otherexample.xx

There are even more complicated examples that require out of zone
glue to work.

Working out which glue is accepted is a trade-off between being
able to track down bad data and having a delegation work.  Named
accepts and returns glue that is under the parent.  Bad glue is
then traceable.

otoh, if the administrator of example.xx decides to remove ns3 and ns4,
otherexample.xx won't be able to resolve.

Imho, the sibling glue records are bad, just because of your example. They
should not be put in domain - only example.xx maintainer should be allowed
to put glue records for example.xx into the .xx zone and only when they are
used for .xx zone.

And imho, domains should not be registered on servers that do not have their
glue records in the proper zone, .xx or other. That would spare servers from
many useless lookups.
