Title : Architectural Considerations on Application Features in the DNS
Author(s) : O. Kolkman, et al.
Filename : draft-iab-dns-applications-01.txt
Pages : 24

While the principal purpose of the Domain Name System (DNS) is to
translate Internet domain names to IP addresses, over time a number
of Internet applications have integrated supplemental features into
the DNS to support their operations. Many of these features assist
in locating the appropriate service in a domain, or in transforming
intermediary identifiers into names that the DNS can process.
Proposals to piggyback more sophisticated application behavior on top
of the DNS, however, have raised questions about the propriety of
instantiating some features in that way, especially those with
security sensitivities. This document explores the architectural
consequences of installing application features in the DNS, and
provides guidance for future work in this area.
