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; some for example 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 incorporating sophisticated application behavior using DNS
as a substrate have raised questions about the role of the DNS as an
application platform. This document explores the architectural
consequences of using the DNS to implement certain application
features, and provides guidance to future application designers as to
the limitations of the DNS as a substrate and the situations in which
alternative designs should be considered.
