The IESG has received a request from the Domain Name System Operations WG (dnsop) to consider the following document: - 'Initializing a DNS Resolver with Priming Queries' <draft-ietf-dnsop-resolver-priming-09.txt> as Best Current Practice 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 ietf@ietf.org mailing lists by 2016-11-10. Exceptionally, comments may be sent to iesg@ietf.org instead. In either case, please retain the beginning of the Subject line to allow automated sorting. Abstract This document describes the queries that a DNS resolver should emit to initialize its cache. The result is that the resolver gets both a current NS RRSet for the root zone and the necessary address information for reaching the root servers. The file can be obtained via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-resolver-priming/ IESG discussion can be tracked via https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-resolver-priming/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. The document contains these normative downward references. See RFC 3967 for additional information: rfc5452: Measures for Making DNS More Resilient against Forged Answers (Proposed Standard - IETF stream) rfc4033: DNS Security Introduction and Requirements (Proposed Standard - IETF stream) rfc3226: DNSSEC and IPv6 A6 aware server/resolver message size requirements (Proposed Standard - IETF stream) Note that some of these references may already be listed in the acceptable Downref Registry.
