Efficacy of using short timeout values for an A record

2012-02-14 Thread goran kent
Hi, I need to setup an A record for a machine who's IP might change unexpectedly, and I need to ensure PCs out there cache it for as short a time as possible: host1300 IN A 10.10.10.10 Does anyone know whether MS windows PCs will in fact honour that 300s, then force a re-lookup? Can I

Query Regarding NSEC RR in DNSSEC

Dear Team, We have a Authenticated Response in DNSSEC through trust chain. Now my question is why we itself need a NSEC when we get response from DNSSEC enabled server authentically. Means, if a Record exist in DNSSEC, then it replies the answer along with RRSIG of that RR. AND if domain

Briefly, the answer is, the NXDOMAIN response could be replayed by a man-in-the-middle attacker. We need to have something to sign, something specific to that query. If we just return the zone's SOA record and its signature, we're still subject to a replay attack. So we need to prove the negati

Mac OS X imposes a 60 second minimum on TTLs, or at least it did at one time. I am unaware of any other client OS having such a restriction. Client software does not always respect TTLs, though. It's entirely possible for a client application to completely ignore the TTL value and continue to c

Hello Gaurav, You might want to have a look at our whitepaper on 'authenticated denial of existence' to gain better understanding of this somewhat complicated aspect of the DNSSEC specification: https://www.sidn.nl/fileadmin/docs/PDF-files_UK/wp-2011-0x01-v2.pdf Regards, -- Marco On 02/14/20
