Abstract:
The dominant protocol for name resolution on the Internet is the
Domain Name System (DNS). However, other protocols exist that are
fundamentally different from the DNS, but which have syntactically-
similar namespaces.
When an end-user triggers resolution of a name on a system which
supports multiple, different protocols for name resolution, it is
desirable that the protocol to be used is unambiguous, and that
requests intended for one protocol are not inadvertently addressed
using another.
[RFC6761] introduced a framework by which, under certain
circumstances, a particular domain name could be acknowledged as
being special. This framework has been used to make top-level domain
reservations, that is, particular top-level domains that should not
be used within the DNS to accommodate parallel use of non-DNS name
resolution protocols by end-users and avoid the possibility of
namespace collisions.
Various challenges have become apparent with this application of the
guidance provided in [RFC6761]. This document aims to document those
challenges in the form of a problem statement, to facilitate further
discussion of potential solutions.
