Re: [DNSOP] WGLC for draft-ietf-dnsop-zoneversion

2023-04-26 Thread George Michaelson
I've read this draft.

I think its a simple and straightforward proposal. It explicitly notes
the security issue that its not covered by DNSSEC, it has
implementations, and it had a good discussion run 2021/2022 which was
overwhelmingly positive.

I had no problems understanding the intent. its really clear and
straightforward.

It's a debug tool. It isn't going to be something I expect to use, but
I like the idea if something goes awry in the responses I am seeing I
can ask the authority to tell me what SOA serial I should expect to
see, that has the response state they're giving me for the specific
query. Thats distinct from ZONEMD which is a DNSSEC signed state of an
entire zone (assuming it can be done) which is a different class of
check on zone state related to serial. I like both. They're different.
That said, you COULD point to ZONEMD in this one in the security
considerations, but I wouldnt make it normative. It's just another way
to check the state of a zone.

The non-transitive thing is about the only point of "well" -but
its unsigned data: how could you trust it, if you can't verify through
a third (transiting) party? And the draft says this: it's undefined
behaviour.

I truly think this is that very rare bird: "looks good to me ship it"
in 2 WG adopted draft edits.

[DNSOP] WGLC for draft-ietf-dnsop-zoneversion

2023-04-26 Thread Suzanne Woolf
Colleagues,


This email begins a Working Group Last Call for draft-ietf-dnsop-zoneversion-02 
(https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-zoneversion/).

If you've reviewed this document and think it's ready for publication, please 
let us and the WG know, by responding on-list to this message. We particularly 
need to hear from implementers and operators whether this EDNS option is 
implementable and useful.

If you don't think it's ready, and have specific concerns or suggestions, 
please let us know about those too.

The Last Call will be two weeks, ending on Thursday 11 May.

Thanks to everyone who's offered comments and suggestions on the draft to date.

[DNSOP] Last Call: (DNS Glue Requirements in Referral Responses) to Proposed Standard

2023-04-26 Thread The IESG


The IESG has received a request from the Domain Name System Operations WG
(dnsop) to consider the following document: - 'DNS Glue Requirements in
Referral Responses'
   as Proposed Standard

The IESG plans to make a decision in the next few weeks, and solicits final
comments on this action. Please send substantive comments to the
last-c...@ietf.org mailing lists by 2023-05-10. Exceptionally, comments may
be sent to i...@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning
of the Subject line to allow automated sorting.

Abstract


   The DNS uses glue records to allow iterative clients to find the
   addresses of name servers that are contained within a delegated zone.
   Authoritative Servers are expected to return all available glue
   records for in-domain name servers in a referral response.  If
   message size constraints prevent the inclusion of all glue records
   for in-domain name servers, the server MUST set the TC flag to inform
   the client that the response is incomplete, and that the client
   SHOULD use another transport to retrieve the full response.  This
   document updates RFC 1034 to clarify correct server behavior.




The file can be obtained via
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-glue-is-not-optional/



No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.

One comment -- Section 3.2 has "DNS server operators MAY be aware that queries

(Also, in that quote, s/queries for name/queries for names/)

We've been using this terming this way since at least 2015, and so changing
it now would be very disruptive. Do you have proposed text to clarify that
it's not used to mean something like the public suffix list?

Oh, good point. Your proposed text still make it sound like they are not
allowed to support non-DNS names, and so I'm proposing:
"7. It is not possible for DNS registries/registrars to register names in
  the .alt pseudo-TLD as the .alt will not exist in the global DNS
root."

This threads the needle of not trying to tell registries and registrar what
they are allowed to do by simply point out that's it's an impossibility for
them to register *DNS* names in an undelegated name.

Thank you Paul.

The problem seems to be with DKIM and header rewriting by 
ietfa.amsl.com. We are in contact to resolve this, but it doesn't seem 
easy. Turning off DKIM on my side doesn't seem like an option, but we're 
working on an alternative solution.

We had chosen pseudo-TLD because it acts like a TLD, and quacks like a TLD,
but it isn't actually a TLD because, well, it isn't a Top Level *Domain* —
it's more like a Top Level Reservation. If we'd done this all again,
perhaps we would have selected a different term, but at this point it's
been 9 years, 2 months and 16 days, and changing it now would indeed be too
late…

Thank you to Linda Dunbar for the SECDIR review.
** Section 2.
Currently deployed projects and protocols that are using pseudo-TLDs are 
recommended to move under the .alt pseudo-TLD, but this is not a requirement.
I don’t understand the basis of this recommendation. Projects and protocols 
using pseudo-TLDs (outside of https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved) are 
already not following published guidance. Why is there an expectation that this 
document can change behavior?

It's not really an expectation, more of an invitation/suggestion. At one point 
this had text along the lines of "may choose to", but that was felt to be a bit 
weak. There was some discussion about making this "are RECOMMENDED to move", 
but that was felt to be too strong (and who the hell are we to tell 'em what to 
do anyway?!). This was the happy medium we settled on.
Good enough?

[Roman] Yes.  I figured there long deliberation on a few set of words.

Section 3.2. Item #3. Editorial. s/Writers of name resolution APIs/Creators of 
name resolution APIs/. Or “developers”, “implementers, or “designers”

Thank you - I've updated this to be "Developers" in Pull Request #46.

Backstory:
This section "answers" the questions from RFC6761, and Q 3 was phrased as:
"3.  Name Resolution APIs and Libraries:
   Are writers of name resolution APIs and libraries expected to make their 
software recognize these names as special and treat them differently?  If so, 
how?"
We'd just sort of followed along from the language.


** Section 3.2. Item #7
7. DNS registries/registrars for the global DNS will never register names in 
the .alt pseudo-TLD because .alt will not exist in the global DNS root.
Items #4 – 6 on this list use RFC2119 language to make the expected behavior 
clear. This text seems to be written in an aspiration form describing what 
registries/registrars will do, without explicitly prohibiting them with 
normative language. Is there a reason for that?


Yup, actually 2 reasons:
1: .alt will not exist in the DNS, and so it's not possible for DNS registries 
and registrars to register DNS names. We don't tell pigs that they MUST NOT 
fly, and so telling registries and registrars that they MUST NOT do something 
that they are unable to  seemed odd. But, Paul Wouters also pointed at this 
text in his ballot, and that it is unclear, so I've suggested (in PR  46) this 
instead:
"7. It is not possible for DNS registries/registrars to register DNS names
  in the .alt pseudo-TLD as the .alt will not exist in the global DNS root."

2: there is some sensitivity here. ICANN regulates registries and registrars, 
and I was trying to be extra careful to not accidentally step on toes and imply 
that the IETF was telling 'em what to do…

[Roman] Understood.

It's not really an expectation, more of an invitation/suggestion. At one
point this had text along the lines of "may choose to", but that was felt
to be a bit weak. There was some discussion about making this "are
RECOMMENDED to move", but that was felt to be too strong (and who the hell
are we to tell 'em what to do anyway?!). This was the happy medium we
settled on.
Good enough?

Thank you - I've updated this to be "Developers" in Pull Request #46.

Backstory:
This section "answers" the questions from RFC6761, and Q 3 was phrased as:
"3.  Name Resolution APIs and Libraries:
   Are writers of name resolution APIs and libraries expected to make
their software recognize these names as special and treat them
differently?  If so, how?"
We'd just sort of followed along from the language.

Yup, actually 2 reasons:
1: .alt will not exist in the DNS, and so it's not possible for DNS
registries and registrars to register DNS names. We don't tell pigs that
they MUST NOT fly, and so telling registries and registrars that they MUST
NOT do something that they are unable to  seemed odd. But, Paul Wouters
also pointed at this text in his ballot, and that it is unclear, so I've
suggested (in PR  46) this instead:
"7. It is not possible for DNS registries/registrars to register DNS names
  in the .alt pseudo-TLD as the .alt will not exist in the global DNS
root."

2: there is some sensitivity here. ICANN regulates registries and
registrars, and I was trying to be extra careful to not accidentally step
on toes and imply that the IETF was telling 'em what to do…

Re: [DNSOP] Call for Adoption: Compact Denial of Existence in DNSSEC

2023-04-26 Thread Shumon Huque
I support adoption too.

As I've mentioned earlier, this mechanism is widely deployed and needs a
published specification. Adopting the work will also allow us to formally
specify an accurate NXDOMAIN signal (and work out its related details more
fully).

Yeah, I've mentioned the same sort of thing in the past too, when I first
learned
of TLS Grease (RFC 8701).

Speaking from experience though, and despite the efforts of EDNS flag day,
dropping the responses without fallback still may be too high a bar :(

We had to disable Cookies when we upgraded to a post EDNS flag day BIND
implementation because of hue and cry from some large customers still
running
broken DNS implementations :( (I mentioned more details on the
dns-operations
list at that time).

That's a reasonable suggestion. We can add it.

As I've mentioned earlier, I'm okay with adding such a sentence. And
perhaps you mean operators rather than implementers.

I see that the chairs have pushed the button on 'Publication Requested' for
this draft.

Maybe you can broach this subject again during "IETF last call", and we'll
see if we can get others to chime in then. (Personally, I'd also like to
see some big TLD operators speaking up in agreement with this. Otherwise,
we might just be writing something that will be ignored).
