Domain Name System Operations (dnsop) ------------------------------------- Charter Last Modified: 2011-08-18 Current Status: Active Working Group Chair(s): Peter Koch Stephen Morris Operations and Management Area Director(s): Dan Romascanu Ronald Bonica Operations and Management Area Advisor: Ronald Bonica Mailing Lists: General Discussion:dnsop@ietf.org To Subscribe: http://www.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dnsop Archive: http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/dnsop Description of Working Group: The DNS Operations Working Group will develop guidelines for the operation of DNS software servers and the administration of DNS zone files. These guidelines will provide technical information relating to the implementation of the DNS protocol by the operators and administrators of DNS zones. The group will perform the following activities: 1. Define the processes by which Domain Name System (DNS) software may be efficiently and correctly administered, configured, and operated on Internet networks. This will include root zone name servers, gTLD name servers, name servers for other DNS zones, iterative DNS resolvers, and recursive DNS resolvers. As part of this effort, the group will produce documents explaining to the general Internet community what processes and mechanisms should be employed for the effective management and operation of DNS software. 2. Publish documents concerning DNSSEC operational procedures. 3. Publish documents concerning the IPv6 DNS operational procedures and DNS-related IPv6 transition and coexistence issues. 4. Publish documents concerning the operations of the root and TLD services, and DNS resolvers. Goals and Milestones: Done Submit I-D: revised Root Server Requirements. Done Submit I-D: revised version of Key Handling. Done Submit I-D: first version of Servers Sharing IP#. Done Submit I-D: first version of Performance and Measuring. Done Submit I-D: revised version of Key Handling. Done Submit I-D: revised version of Servers Sharing IP#. Done Submit Root Server Requirements to the IESG for consideration as Informational (BCP?). Done Submit I-D: 2nd revised version of Servers Sharing IP#. Done Distributing Authoritative Name Servers via Shared Unicast Addresses to the IESG for Informational Done Submit Observed DNS Resolution Misbehavior to the IESG for Informational Done Submit document describing the outstanding problems and issues with DNS discovery for IPv6 to the IESG for Informational. Done Submit Operational Guidelines for 'local' zones in the DNS to IESG. Category to be determined. Done Submit Operational Considerations and Issues with IPv6 DNS to the IESG for Informational Done Submit Common Misbehavior against DNS Queries for IPv6 Addresses to the IESG for Informational Done Submit DNSSEC Operational Procedures to IESG for BCP Done Submit Identifying an Authoritative Name Server to IESG for Informational Done Submit I-D: revised version of Considerations for the use of DNS Reverse Mapping Done Submit I-D: revised version of Considerations for the use of DNS Reverse Mapping Sep 2007 Submit I-D: revised version of Considerations for the use of DNS Reverse Mapping Sep 2007 Submit I'm Being Attacked by PRISONER.IANA.ORG! to IESG for FYI Sep 2007 Submit Locally-served DNS Zones to IESG for BCP Oct 2007 Submit DNS Response Size Issues to IESG for Informational Dec 2007 Submit Considerations for the use of DNS Reverse Mapping to IESG for BCP Dec 2007 Submit AS112 Nameserver Operations to IESG for Informational Feb 2008 Submit Initializing a DNS Resolver with Priming Queries to IESG for BCP Internet-Drafts: Posted Revised I-D Title ------ ------- -------------------------------------------- Jun 2003 Mar 2011 DNS Referral Response Size Issues Mar 2009 Jul 2011 DNSSEC Operational Practices, Version 2 Nov 2009 Sep 2011 DNSSEC Policy & Practice Statement Framework Jul 2010 Mar 2011 DNSSEC Key Timing Considerations Request For Comments: RFC Stat Published Title ------- -- ----------- ------------------------------------ RFC2870BCP Jun 2000 Root Name Server Operational Requirements RFC3258 I Apr 2002 Distributing Authorittative Name Servers via Shared Unicast Addresses RFC3901BCP Sep 2004 DNS IPv6 transport operational guidelines RFC4074 I May 2005 Common Misbehavior against DNS Queries for IPv6 Addresses RFC4339 I Feb 2006 IPv6 Host Configuration of DNS Server Information Approaches RFC4472 I Apr 2006 Operational Considerations and Issues with IPv6 DNS RFC4641 I Sep 2006 DNSSEC Operational Practices RFC4697BCP Oct 2006 Observed DNS Resolution Misbehavior RFC4892 I Jun 2007 Requirements for a Mechanism Identifying a Name Server Instance RFC5358BCP Oct 2008 Preventing Use of Recursive Nameservers in Reflector Attacks RFC6168 I May 2011 Requirements for Management of Name Servers for the DNS
