The IESG has received a request from the Domain Name System Operations WG (dnsop) to consider the following document: - 'AS112 Nameserver Operations' <draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc6304bis-03.txt> as Informational RFC 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 2014-07-29. 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 Many sites connected to the Internet make use of IPv4 addresses that are not globally-unique. Examples are the addresses designated in RFC 1918 for private use within individual sites. Devices in such environments may occasionally originate Domain Name System (DNS) queries (so-called "reverse lookups") corresponding to those private-use addresses. Since the addresses concerned have only local significance, it is good practice for site administrators to ensure that such queries are answered locally. However, it is not uncommon for such queries to follow the normal delegation path in the public DNS instead of being answered within the site. It is not possible for public DNS servers to give useful answers to such queries. In addition, due to the wide deployment of private-use addresses and the continuing growth of the Internet, the volume of such queries is large and growing. The AS112 project aims to provide a distributed sink for such queries in order to reduce the load on the corresponding authoritative servers. The AS112 project is named after the Autonomous System Number (ASN) that was assigned to it. RFC6304 described the steps required to install a new AS112 node, and offered advice relating to such a node's operation. This document updates that advice to facilitate the addition and removal of zones for which query traffic will be sunk at AS112 nodes, using DNAME, whilst still supporting direct delegations to AS112 name servers. This document obsoletes RFC6304. The file can be obtained via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc6304bis/ IESG discussion can be tracked via http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-dnsop-rfc6304bis/ballot/ No IPR declarations have been submitted directly on this I-D.
