 The second part doesn't make any sense to me.  It seems that having
 multiple, geographically disparate recursive name servers would be
 more likely to present an alternative [view] of the DNS.  (In fact,
 I can prove that's true in at least some cases. :)  So you are
 actually arguing -against- your first point.

Only where others deliberately provide conflicting data from different 
sources. That is their choice, certainly the recursive machines would be 
deployed to avoid making the situation worse.

The point of local provision is for reliability, and performance.

 Perhaps something as simple as a preference only 'correcting' queries
 that begin with www?

Alas www is ascribing meaning where non-exists, webservers exist without the 
www prefix, and some name servers and mail servers have proper names with the 
www in. Such half baked approaches are how systems decay.

Aggregation Summary
The algorithm used in this report proposes aggregation only
when there is a precise match using the AS path, so as 
to preserve traffic transit policies. Aggregation is also
proposed across non-advertised address space ('holes').

Re: What just happened at One Wilshire?

From our colo provider at One Wilshire

At approx. 7pm an unknown occurance happened on the 12th fl. of the One
Wilshire Building.  The Fire Department was called and the building was
evacuated.  OWB Security has informed us that no other floor was affected.

We currently understand that we are on Emergency Power.

More details to follow I presume

Let's quit looking at overly-simplistic correction mechanisms.  Do spell
checkers force autocorrection with only a single choice per misspelled
word?

Return an A RR that points correction service-controlled system.  Said
system examines HTTP Host header, then returns a page listing multiple
possibilities.

you may be trying to access: ...

However, one can see how SMTP and FTP might be similarly handled.  (IMHO
not as good as a SRV-ish system that could return NXDOMAIN per service,
but actually somewhat usable today.)

I'm considering submitting a presentation proposal for the upcoming
NANOG which may include related 'stuff'. It may just turn out to be
a BoF , or prehaps a lightning talk -- it depends on how the
presentation turns out...  :-)

Instead of 'correction mechanisms', it would be looking specifically
at behavioral aspects of some of this.

No, you should not. The other iportant things that come into my mind
are

mail


My thunderbird does use dns, looking for MX records mostly.
For me it is the most important application.

phone
-

Either VoIP or Skype they both need dns, looking for NAPTR?
The box is hardware. It does not run windows and it has its
own resolver onboard.

dns
---

Some resolvers do not use forwarders. They know whom to
query. They will get a hickup if somebody is returning
them the wrong ip address for a nameserver

(agreed, if you use e.g. djbdns you most likely will
not use OpenDNS in the first place)

word?


Ever used Word or Outlook?  They annoyingly fix words as you type
without offering multiple choices or even alerting the user that they're 
doing
it.  I've learned to re-read what I write several times now because I've 
been

burned too many times by jargon being corrected to unrelated real
words -- but I type teh and similar things often enough I can't afford to
turn the feature off.  (And my employer requires me to use those apps, so 
all you anti-MS folks please sit back down)


OpenDNS's typo-fixing service can supposedly be turned off, but I don't see
how that would work when you have multiple users behind a NAT or a recursive 
server.  There also may be hidden problems if an ISP pushes all

of their users onto this service and the users have no clue they've been
opted in or how to opt back out (and we all know how well opt out
systems work for email in general).


Return an A RR that points correction service-controlled system.  Said
system examines HTTP Host header, then returns a page listing multiple
possibilities.

The site you specified does not exist.  Here is a list of sites that
you may be trying to access: ...


And that solves most of my objections, at least for HTTP.  It still breaks a
lot of other protocols.


I'm generally ignoring other protocols to limit the discussion scope.
However, one can see how SMTP and FTP might be similarly handled.
(IMHO not as good as a SRV-ish system that could return NXDOMAIN
per service, but actually somewhat usable today.)


If web browsers consulted SRV records instead of blindly connecting to the
A, that would appear to solve everything: NXDOMAIN for the A but the HTTP
SRV could point to the typo-correction server.  I'd not be inclined to argue
with such a setup, but it requires a refresh of every browser out there, so
it's not realistic.

Yes.  One of the first features that I shut off.

...which still poses problems that should not be ignored.  I forked a
subset of the main discussion in hopes of better idea organization.
Other protocols should indeed be considered.

It's a question of protocol-specific proxying when [at least for now]
DNS returns protocol-agnostic answers.

As a side note, I wonder how many users would notice a typo-intercepted
HTTPS side and associated invalid/bogus certificate.  I'm afraid the
number would be rather low.

Agreed re the short term.  However, SRV records have other uses -- why
should MXes get all the special treatment? -- so I'm trying to put
another tally in the [potential] reasons to use SRV column.  Perhaps
if the ball began rolling...
