The IESG has approved the following document: - 'DNS64: DNS extensions for Network Address Translation from IPv6 Clients to IPv4 Servers' (draft-ietf-behave-dns64-11.txt) as a Proposed Standard This document is the product of the Behavior Engineering for Hindrance Avoidance Working Group. The IESG contact persons are David Harrington and Lars Eggert. A URL of this Internet Draft is: http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-behave-dns64/ Technical Summary DNS64 is a mechanism for synthesizing AAAA records from A records. DNS64 is used with an IPv6/IPv4 translator to enable client-server communication between an IPv6-only client and an IPv4-only server, without requiring any changes to either the IPv6 or the IPv4 node, for the class of applications that work through NATs. This document specifies DNS64, and provides suggestions on how it should be deployed in conjunction with IPv6/IPv4 translators. Working Group Summary The document represents WG consensus. Document Quality several vendors are actively implementing the specification. The document does not require a MIB, ABNF, or media type review. It should be reviewed by the DNS Directorate. Personnel Responsible AD: David Harrington Dan Wing (dwing@cisco.com) is the document shepherd. The document doesn't require IANA experts. RFC Editor Note 1.
