Abstract:
A number of Internet applications rely on the Domain Name System
(DNS) to support their operations. Many applications use the DNS to
locate services for a domain. For example, some applications
transform identifiers other than domain names into formats that the
DNS can process and then fetch application data or service location
data from the DNS. Proposals to incorporate more sophisticated
application behavior into the DNS, however, have raised questions
about the applicability and extensibility of the DNS. This document
explores the architectural consequences of using the DNS for storing
and retrieving certain application features, and provides guidance to
future application designers as to the sorts of ways that
applications can make use of the DNS.
