This document defines an EDNS0 extension that can be used by a
security-aware validating resolver configured to use a forwarding
resolver to send a single query, requesting a complete validation
path along with the regular query answer. The reduction in queries
potentially lowers the latency and reduces the need to send multiple
queries at once. This extension mandates the use of source-IP-
verified transport such as TCP or UDP with EDNS-COOKIE, so it cannot
be abused in amplification attacks.
This document is a product of the Domain Name System Operations Working Group of the IETF.
