A new Request for Comments is now available in online RFC libraries. RFC 6168 Title: Requirements for Management of Name Servers for the DNS Author: W. Hardaker Status: Informational Stream: IETF Date: May 2011 Mailbox: ietf@hardakers.net Pages: 17 Characters: 36679 Updates/Obsoletes/SeeAlso: None I-D Tag: draft-ietf-dnsop-name-server-management-reqs-05.txt URL: http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6168.txt Management of name servers for the Domain Name System (DNS) has traditionally been done using vendor-specific monitoring, configuration, and control methods. Although some service monitoring platforms can test the functionality of the DNS itself, there is not an interoperable way to manage (monitor, control, and configure) the internal aspects of a name server itself. This document discusses the requirements of a management system for name servers and can be used as a shopping list of needed features for such a system. This document is not an Internet Standards Track specification; it is published for informational purposes. This document is a product of the Domain Name System Operations Working Group of the IETF.
