The IESG has received a request from the DNS Extensions WG (dnsext) to consider the following document: - 'xNAME RCODE and Status Bits Clarification' <draft-ietf-dnsext-xnamercode-00.txt> as a Proposed Standard 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 2012-02-06. 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 The Domain Name System (DNS) has long provided means, such as CNAME (Canonical Name), where a query can be redirected to a different name. A DNS response header has an RCODE (Response Code) field, used for indicating errors, and response status bits. This document clarifies, in the case of such redirected queries, how the RCODE and status bits correspond to the initial query cycle (where the CNAME or the like was detected) and subsequent or final query cycles. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsext-xnamercode/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsext-xnamercode/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D. _______________________________________________ IETF-Announce mailing list IETF-Announce@ietf.org https://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf-announce
