Indeed, there are many efforts to improve the DNS usage. In IETFland, there are RFC 1912, 2182, 4472, 4641, 5358 and many Internet-Drafts.

This suggests to me that there will be an opportunity to improve some of the operations in the wild, ... If you have a cache of these examples, I'd be delighted to see them. One could imagine producing a BCP about common DNS implementation and operation errors or, more positively, recommendations for implementation and operation. One could equally imagine some group actively pursuing improvements to the major implementations (and operations) that have problems. I seem to recall seeing small forays in this direction, in the past. Your query might encourage an organized effort that follows through with making actual DNS operation -- as opposed to attack or defense of the protocol -- provide the needed level of *end-to-end* reliability. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net ___ Ietf mailing list Ietf@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
