RFC 6672                    DNAME Redirection                  June 20121.  Introduction   DNAME is a DNS resource record type originally defined inRFC 2672   [RFC2672].  DNAME provides redirection from a part of the DNS name   tree to another part of the DNS name tree.   The DNAME RR and the CNAME RR [RFC1034] cause a lookup to   (potentially) return data corresponding to a domain name different   from the queried domain name.  The difference between the two   resource records is that the CNAME RR directs the lookup of data at   its owner to another single name, whereas a DNAME RR directs lookups   for data at descendants of its owner's name to corresponding names   under a different (single) node of the tree.   For example, take looking through a zone (seeRFC 1034[RFC1034],   Section 4.3.2, step 3) for the domain name "foo.example.com", and a   DNAME resource record is found at "example.com" indicating that all   queries under "example.com" be directed to "example.net".  The lookup   process will return to step 1 with the new query name of   "foo.example.net".  Had the query name been "www.foo.example.com",   the new query name would be "www.foo.example.net".   This document is a revision of the original specification of DNAME inRFC 2672 [RFC2672].  DNAME was conceived to help with the problem of   maintaining address-to-name mappings in a context of network   renumbering.  With a careful setup, a renumbering event in the   network causes no change to the authoritative server that has the   address-to-name mappings.  Examples in practice are classless reverse   address space delegations.   Another usage of DNAME lies in aliasing of name spaces.  For example,   a zone administrator may want subtrees of the DNS to contain the same   information.  Examples include punycode [RFC3492] alternates for   domain spaces.   This revision of the DNAME specification does not change the wire   format or the handling of DNAME resource records.  Discussion is   added on problems that may be encountered when using DNAME.1.1.  Requirements Language   The key words "MUST", "MUST NOT", "REQUIRED", "SHALL", "SHALL NOT",   "SHOULD", "SHOULD NOT", "RECOMMENDED" "NOT RECOMMENDED", "MAY", and   "OPTIONAL" in this document are to be interpreted as described inRFC2119 [RFC2119].Rose & Wijngaards            Standards Track                    [Page 4]

RFC 6672                    DNAME Redirection                  June 20122.  The DNAME Resource Record2.1.  Format   The DNAME RR has mnemonic DNAME and type code 39 (decimal).  It is   CLASS-insensitive.   Its RDATA is comprised of a single field, <target>, which contains a   fully qualified domain name that MUST be sent in uncompressed form   [RFC1035] [RFC3597].  The <target> field MUST be present.  The   presentation format of <target> is that of a domain name [RFC1035].   The presentation format of the RR is as follows:           <owner> <ttl> <class> DNAME <target>   The effect of the DNAME RR is the substitution of the record's   <target> for its owner name, as a suffix of a domain name.  This   substitution is to be applied for all names below the owner name of   the DNAME RR.  This substitution has to be applied for every DNAME RR   found in the resolution process, which allows fairly lengthy valid   chains of DNAME RRs.   Details of the substitution process, methods to avoid conflicting   resource records, and rules for specific corner cases are given in   the following subsections.2.2.  The DNAME Substitution   When following step 3 of the algorithm inRFC 1034 [RFC1034],Section4.3.2, "start matching down, label by label, in the zone" and a node   is found to own a DNAME resource record, a DNAME substitution occurs.   The name being sought may be the original query name or a name that   is the result of a CNAME resource record being followed or a   previously encountered DNAME.  As in the case when finding a CNAME   resource record or NS resource record set, the processing of a DNAME   will happen prior to finding the desired domain name.   A DNAME substitution is performed by replacing the suffix labels of   the name being sought matching the owner name of the DNAME resource   record with the string of labels in the RDATA field.  The matching   labels end with the root label in all cases.  Only whole labels are   replaced.  See the table of examples for common cases and corner   cases.   In the table below, the QNAME refers to the query name.  The owner is   the DNAME owner domain name, and the target refers to the target of   the DNAME record.  The result is the resulting name after performing   the DNAME substitution on the query name. "no match" means that theRose & Wijngaards            Standards Track                    [Page 5]

RFC 6672                    DNAME Redirection                  June 2012   query did not match the DNAME, and thus no substitution is performed   and a possible error message is returned (if no other result is   possible).  Thus, every line contains one example substitution.  In   the examples below, 'cyc' and 'shortloop' contain loops.    QNAME            owner  DNAME   target         result    ---------------- -------------- -------------- -----------------    com.             example.com.   example.net.   <no match>    example.com.     example.com.   example.net.

[0] The result depends on the QTYPE.  If the QTYPE = DNAME, then       the result is "example.com.", else "<no match>".                   Table 1. DNAME Substitution Examples   It is possible for DNAMEs to form loops, just as CNAMEs can form   loops.  DNAMEs and CNAMEs can chain together to form loops.  A single   corner case DNAME can form a loop.  Resolvers and servers should be   cautious in devoting resources to a query, but be aware that fairly   long chains of DNAMEs may be valid.  Zone content administrators   should take care to ensure that there are no loops that could occur   when using DNAME or DNAME/CNAME redirection.   The domain name can get too long during substitution.  For example,   suppose the target name of the DNAME RR is 250 octets in length   (multiple labels), if an incoming QNAME that has a first label over 5   octets in length, the result would be a name over 255 octets.  If   this occurs, the server returns an RCODE of YXDOMAIN [RFC2136].  The   DNAME record and its signature (if the zone is signed) are included   in the answer as proof for the YXDOMAIN (value 6) RCODE.2.3.  DNAME Owner Name Matching the QNAME   Unlike a CNAME RR, a DNAME RR redirects DNS names subordinate to its   owner name; the owner name of a DNAME is not redirected itself.  The   domain name that owns a DNAME record is allowed to have other   resource record types at that domain name, except DNAMEs, CNAMEs, or   other types that have restrictions on what they can coexist with.Rose & Wijngaards            Standards Track                    [Page 6]

RFC 6672                    DNAME Redirection                  June 2012   When there is a match of the QTYPE to a type (or types) also owned by   the owner name, the response is sourced from the owner name.  For   example, a QTYPE of ANY would return the (available) types at the   owner name, not the target name.   DNAME RRs MUST NOT appear at the same owner name as an NS RR unless   the owner name is the zone apex; if it is not the zone apex, then the   NS RR signifies a delegation point, and the DNAME RR must in that   case appear below the zone cut at the zone apex of the child zone.   If a DNAME record is present at the zone apex, there is still a need   to have the customary SOA and NS resource records there as well.   Such a DNAME cannot be used to mirror a zone completely, as it does   not mirror the zone apex.   These rules also allow DNAME records to be queried through caches   that areRFC 1034 [RFC1034] compliant and are DNAME unaware.2.4.  Names next to and below a DNAME Record   Resource records MUST NOT exist at any subdomain of the owner of a   DNAME RR.  To get the contents for names subordinate to that owner   name, the DNAME redirection must be invoked and the resulting target   queried.  A server MAY refuse to load a zone that has data at a   subdomain of a domain name owning a DNAME RR.  If the server does   load the zone, those names below the DNAME RR will be occluded as   described inRFC 2136[RFC2136], Section 7.18.  Also, a server ought   to refuse to load a zone subordinate to the owner of a DNAME record   in the ancestor zone.  SeeSection 5.2 for further discussion related   to dynamic update.   DNAME is a singleton type, meaning only one DNAME is allowed per   name.  The owner name of a DNAME can only have one DNAME RR, and no   CNAME RRs can exist at that name.  These rules make sure that for a   single domain name, only one redirection exists; thus, there's no   confusion about which one to follow.  A server ought to refuse to   load a zone that violates these rules.2.5.  Compression of the DNAME Record   The DNAME owner name can be compressed like any other owner name.   The DNAME RDATA target name MUST NOT be sent out in compressed form   and MUST be downcased for DNS Security Extensions (DNSSEC)   validation.Rose & Wijngaards            Standards Track                    [Page 7]

RFC 6672                    DNAME Redirection                  June 2012   Although the previous DNAME specification [RFC2672] (that is   obsoleted by this specification) talked about signaling to allow   compression of the target name, such signaling has never been   specified, nor is it specified in this document.RFC 2672 (obsoleted by this document) states that the Extended DNS   (EDNS) version has a means for understanding DNAME and DNAME target   name compression.  This document revisesRFC 2672, in that there is   no EDNS version signaling for DNAME.3.  Processing3.1.  CNAME Synthesis   When preparing a response, a server performing a DNAME substitution   will, in all cases, include the relevant DNAME RR in the answer   section.  Relevant cases includes the following:   1.  The DNAME is being employed as a substitution instruction.   2.  The DNAME itself matches the QTYPE, and the owner name matches       QNAME.   When the owner name matches the QNAME and the QTYPE matches another   type owned there, the DNAME is not included in the answer.   A CNAME RR with Time to Live (TTL) equal to the corresponding DNAME   RR is synthesized and included in the answer section when the DNAME   is employed as a substitution instruction.  The owner name of the   CNAME is the QNAME of the query.  The DNSSEC specification ([RFC4033]   [RFC4034] [RFC4035]) says that the synthesized CNAME does not have to   be signed.  The signed DNAME has an RRSIG, and a validating resolver   can check the CNAME against the DNAME record and validate the   signature over the DNAME RR.   Servers MUST be able to answer a query for a synthesized CNAME.  Like   other query types, this invokes the DNAME, and then the server   synthesizes the CNAME and places it into the answer section.  If the   server in question is a cache, the synthesized CNAME's TTL SHOULD be   equal to the decremented TTL of the cached DNAME.   Resolvers MUST be able to handle a synthesized CNAME TTL of zero or a   value equal to the TTL of the corresponding DNAME record (as some   older, authoritative server implementations set the TTL of   synthesized CNAMEs to zero).  A TTL of zero means that the CNAME can   be discarded immediately after processing the answer.Rose & Wijngaards            Standards Track                    [Page 8]

RFC 6672                    DNAME Redirection                  June 20123.2.  Server Algorithm   Below is the revised version of the server algorithm, which appears   inRFC 2672, Section 4.1.   1.  Set or clear the value of recursion available in the response       depending on whether the name server is willing to provide       recursive service.  If recursive service is available and       requested via the RD bit in the query, go to step 5; otherwise,       step 2.   2.  Search the available zones for the zone which is the nearest       ancestor to QNAME.  If such a zone is found, go to step 3;       otherwise, step 4.   3.  Start matching down, label by label, in the zone.  The matching       process can terminate several ways:       A.  If the whole of QNAME is matched, we have found the node.           If the data at the node is a CNAME, and QTYPE does not match           CNAME, copy the CNAME RR into the answer section of the           response, change QNAME to the canonical name in the CNAME RR,           and go back to step 1.           Otherwise, copy all RRs which match QTYPE into the answer           section and go to step 6.       B.  If a match would take us out of the authoritative data, we           have a referral.  This happens when we encounter a node with           NS RRs marking cuts along the bottom of a zone.           Copy the NS RRs for the sub-zone into the authority section           of the reply.  Put whatever addresses are available into the           additional section, using glue RRs if the addresses are not           available from authoritative data or the cache.  Go to step           4.       C.  If at some label, a match is impossible (i.e., the           corresponding label does not exist), look to see whether the           last label matched has a DNAME record.           If a DNAME record exists at that point, copy that record into           the answer section.  If substitution of its <target> for its           <owner> in QNAME would overflow the legal size for a <domain-           name>, set RCODE to YXDOMAIN [RFC2136] and exit; otherwise,           perform the substitution and continue.

RFC 6672                    DNAME Redirection                  June 2012           synthesize a CNAME record as described above and include it           in the answer section.  Go back to step 1.           If there was no DNAME record, look to see if the "*" label           exists.           If the "*" label does not exist, check whether the name we           are looking for is the original QNAME in the query or a name           we have followed due to a CNAME or DNAME.  If the name is           original, set an authoritative name error in the response and           exit.  Otherwise, just exit.           If the "*" label does exist, match RRs at that node against           QTYPE.  If any match, copy them into the answer section, but           set the owner of the RR to be QNAME, and not the node with           the "*" label.  If the data at the node with the "*" label is           a CNAME, and QTYPE doesn't match CNAME, copy the CNAME RR           into the answer section of the response changing the owner           name to the QNAME, change QNAME to the canonical name in the           CNAME RR, and go back to step 1.  Otherwise, go to step 6.   4.  Start matching down in the cache.  If QNAME is found in the       cache, copy all RRs attached to it that match QTYPE into the       answer section.  If QNAME is not found in the cache but a DNAME       record is present at an ancestor of QNAME, copy that DNAME record       into the answer section.  If there was no delegation from       authoritative data, look for the best one from the cache, and put       it in the authority section.  Go to step 6.   5.  Use the local resolver or a copy of its algorithm to answer the       query.  Store the results, including any intermediate CNAMEs and       DNAMEs, in the answer section of the response.   6.  Using local data only, attempt to add other RRs that may be       useful to the additional section of the query.  Exit.   Note that there will be at most one ancestor with a DNAME as   described in step 4 unless some zone's data is in violation of the   no-descendants limitation inSection 3.  An implementation might take   advantage of this limitation by stopping the search of step 3c or   step 4 when a DNAME record is encountered.3.3.  Wildcards   The use of DNAME in conjunction with wildcards is discouraged   [RFC4592].  Thus, records of the form "*.example.com DNAME   example.net" SHOULD NOT be used.Rose & Wijngaards            Standards Track                   [Page 10]

RFC 6672                    DNAME Redirection                  June 2012   The interaction between the expansion of the wildcard and the   redirection of the DNAME is non-deterministic.  Due to the fact that   the processing is non-deterministic, DNSSEC validating resolvers may   not be able to validate a wildcarded DNAME.   A server MAY give a warning that the behavior is unspecified if such   a wildcarded DNAME is loaded.  The server MAY refuse it, refuse to   load the zone, or refuse dynamic updates.3.4.  Acceptance and Intermediate Storage   Recursive caching name servers can encounter data at names below the   owner name of a DNAME RR, due to a change at the authoritative server   where data from before and after the change resides in the cache.   This conflict situation is a transitional phase that ends when the   old data times out.  The caching name server can opt to store both   old and new data and treat each as if the other did not exist, or   drop the old data, or drop the longer domain name.  In any approach,   consistency returns after the older data TTL times out.   Recursive caching name servers MUST perform CNAME synthesis on behalf   of clients.   If a recursive caching name server encounters a DNSSEC validated   DNAME RR that contradicts information already in the cache (excluding   CNAME records), it SHOULD cache the DNAME RR, but it MAY cache the   CNAME record received along with it, subject to the rules for CNAME.   If the DNAME RR cannot be validated via DNSSEC (i.e., not BOGUS, but   not able to validate), the recursive caching server SHOULD NOT cache   the DNAME RR but MAY cache the CNAME record received along with it,   subject to the rules for CNAME.3.4.1.  Resolver Algorithm   Below is the revised version of the resolver algorithm, which appears   inRFC 2672, Section 4.2.   1.  See if the answer is in local information or can be synthesized       from a cached DNAME; if so, return it to the client.   2.  Find the best servers to ask.   3.  Send queries until one returns a response.Rose & Wijngaards            Standards Track                   [Page 11]

RFC 6672                    DNAME Redirection                  June 2012   4.  Analyze the response, either:       A.  If the response answers the question or contains a name           error, cache the data as well as return it back to the           client.       B.  If the response contains a better delegation to other           servers, cache the delegation information, and go to step 2.       C.  If the response shows a CNAME and that is not the answer           itself, cache the CNAME, change the SNAME to the canonical           name in the CNAME RR, and go to step 1.       D.  If the response shows a DNAME and that is not the answer           itself, cache the DNAME (upon successful DNSSEC validation if           the client is a validating resolver).  If substitution of the           DNAME's target name for its owner name in the SNAME would           overflow the legal size for a domain name, return an           implementation-dependent error to the application; otherwise,           perform the substitution and go to step 1.       E.  If the response shows a server failure or other bizarre           contents, delete the server from the SLIST and go back to           step 3.4.  DNAME Discussions in Other Documents   InSection 10.3 of [RFC2181], the discussion on MX and NS records   touches on redirection by CNAMEs, but this also holds for DNAMEs.Section 10.3 ("MX and NS records") of [RFC2181] states:           The domain name used as the value of a NS resource record,           or part of the value of a MX resource record must not be           an alias.  Not only is the specification clear on this           point, but using an alias in either of these positions           neither works as well as might be hoped, nor well fulfills           the ambition that may have led to this approach.  This           domain name must have as its value one or more address           records.  Currently those will be A records, however in           the future other record types giving addressing           information may be acceptable.  It can also have other           RRs, but never a CNAME RR.   The DNAME RR is discussed inRFC 3363, Section 4, on A6 and DNAME.   The opening premise of this section is demonstrably wrong, and so the   conclusion based on that premise is wrong.  In particular, [RFC3363]   deprecates the use of DNAME in the IPv6 reverse tree.  Based on theRose & Wijngaards            Standards Track                   [Page 12]

RFC 6672                    DNAME Redirection                  June 2012   experience gained in the meantime, [RFC3363] is revised, dropping all   constraints on having DNAME RRs in these zones [RFC6434].  This would   greatly improve the manageability of the IPv6 reverse tree.  These   changes are made explicit below.   In [RFC3363], the following paragraph is updated by this document,   and the use of DNAME RRs in the reverse tree is no longer deprecated.     The issues for DNAME in the reverse mapping tree appears to be     closely tied to the need to use fragmented A6 in the main tree: if     one is necessary, so is the other, and if one isn't necessary, the     other isn't either.  Therefore, in movingRFC 2874 to experimental,     the intent of this document is that use of DNAME RRs in the reverse     tree be deprecated.5.  Other Issues with DNAME   There are several issues to be aware of about the use of DNAME.5.1.  Canonical Hostnames Cannot Be below DNAME Owners   The names listed as target names of MX, NS, PTR, and SRV [RFC2782]   records must be canonical hostnames.  This means no CNAME or DNAME   redirection may be present during DNS lookup of the address records   for the host.  This is discussed inRFC 2181[RFC2181], Section 10.3,   andRFC 1912[RFC1912], Section 2.4.  For SRV, seeRFC 2782   [RFC2782], page 4.   The upshot of this is that although the lookup of a PTR record can   involve DNAMEs, the name listed in the PTR record cannot fall under a   DNAME.  The same holds for NS, SRV, and MX records.  For example,   when punycode [RFC3492] alternates for a zone use DNAME, then the NS,   MX, SRV, and PTR records that point to that zone must use names that   are not aliases in their RDATA.  Then, what must be done is to have   the domain names with DNAME substitution already applied to it as the   MX, NS, PTR, and SRV data.  These are valid canonical hostnames.5.2.  Dynamic Update and DNAME   DNAME records can be added, changed, and removed in a zone using   dynamic update transactions.  Adding a DNAME RR to a zone occludes   any domain names that may exist under the added DNAME.   If a dynamic update message attempts to add a DNAME with a given   owner name, but a CNAME is associated with that name, then the server   MUST ignore the DNAME.  If a DNAME is already associated with that   name, then it is replaced with the new DNAME.  Otherwise, add the   DNAME.  If a CNAME is added with a given owner name, but a DNAME isRose & Wijngaards            Standards Track                   [Page 13]

RFC 6672                    DNAME Redirection                  June 2012   associated with that name, then the CNAME MUST be ignored.  Similar   behavior occurs for dynamic updates to an owner name of a CNAME RR   [RFC2136].5.3.  DNSSEC and DNAME   The following subsections specify the behavior of implementations   that understand both DNSSEC and DNAME (synthesis).5.3.1.  Signed DNAME, Unsigned Synthesized CNAME   In any response, a signed DNAME RR indicates a non-terminal   redirection of the query.  There might or might not be a server-   synthesized CNAME in the answer section; if there is, the CNAME will   never be signed.  For a DNSSEC validator, verification of the DNAME   RR and then that the CNAME was properly synthesized is sufficient   proof.5.3.2.  DNAME Bit in NSEC Type Map   In any negative response, the NSEC or NSEC3 [RFC5155] record type   bitmap SHOULD be checked to see that there was no DNAME that could   have been applied.  If the DNAME bit in the type bitmap is set and   the query name is a subdomain of the closest encloser that is   asserted, then DNAME substitution should have been done, but the   substitution has not been done as specified.5.3.3.  DNAME Chains as Strong as the Weakest Link   A response can contain a chain of DNAME and CNAME redirections.  That   chain can end in a positive answer or a negative reply (no name error   or no data error).  Each step in that chain results in resource   records being added to the answer or authority section of the   response.  Only if all steps are secure can the AD (Authentic Data)   bit be set for the response.  If one of the steps is bogus, the   result is bogus.5.3.4.  Validators Must Understand DNAME   Below are examples of why DNSSEC validators MUST understand DNAME.   In the examples, SOA records, wildcard denial NSECs, and other   material not under discussion have been omitted or shortened.Rose & Wijngaards            Standards Track                   [Page 14]

RFC 6672                    DNAME Redirection                  June 20125.3.4.1.

IN A   ;; Authority   bar.example.com. NSEC dub.example.com. A DNAME   bar.example.com. RRSIG NSEC [valid signature]   If this is the received response, then only by understanding that the   DNAME bit in the NSEC bitmap means that foo.bar.example.com needed to   have been redirected by the DNAME, the validator can see that it is a   BOGUS reply from an attacker that collated existing records from the   DNS to create a confusing reply.   If the DNAME bit had not been set in the NSEC record above, then the   answer would have validated as a correct name error response.5.3.4.2.

RRSIG NSEC [valid signature]   This response has the same NSEC records as the example above, but   with this query name (cee.example.com), the answer is validated,   because 'cee' does not get redirected by the DNAME at 'bar'.Rose & Wijngaards            Standards Track                   [Page 15]

RFC 6672                    DNAME Redirection                  June 20125.3.4.3.  Response with Synthesized CNAME   ;; Header: QR AA RCODE=0(NOERROR)   ;; OPT PSEUDOSECTION:   ; EDNS: version: 0, flags: do; udp: 4096   ;; Question   foo.bar.example.com. IN A   ;; Answer   bar.example.com. DNAME bar.example.net.   bar.example.com. RRSIG DNAME [valid signature]   foo.bar.example.com. CNAME foo.bar.example.net.   The response shown above has the synthesized CNAME included.   However, the CNAME has no signature, since the server does not sign   online.  So this response cannot be trusted.  It could be altered by   an attacker to be foo.bar.example.com CNAME bla.bla.example.  The   DNAME record does have its signature included, since it does not   change.  The validator must verify the DNAME signature and then   recursively resolve further in order to query for the   foo.bar.example.net A record.6.  Examples of DNAME Use in a Zone   Below are some examples of the use of DNAME in a zone.  These   examples are by no means exhaustive.6.1.  Organizational Renaming   If an organization with domain name FROBOZZ.EXAMPLE.NET became part   of an organization with domain name ACME.EXAMPLE.COM, it might ease   transition by placing information such as this in its old zone.       frobozz.example.net.  DNAME    frobozz-division.acme.example.com.                             MX       10       mailhub.acme.example.com.   The response to an extended recursive query for   www.frobozz.example.net would contain, in the answer section, the   DNAME record shown above and the relevant RRs for www.frobozz-   division.acme.example.com.   If an organization wants to have aliases for names, for a different   spelling or language, the same example applies.  Note that the MX RR   at the zone apex is not redirected and has to be repeated in the   target zone.  Also note that the services at mailhub or www.frobozz-   division.acme.example.com. have to recognize and handle the aliases.Rose & Wijngaards            Standards Track                   [Page 16]

RFC 6672                    DNAME Redirection                  June 20126.2.  Classless Delegation of Shorter Prefixes   The classless scheme for in-addr.arpa delegation [RFC2317] can be   extended to prefixes shorter than 24 bits by use of the DNAME record.   For example, the prefix 192.0.8.0/22 can be delegated by the   following records.       $ORIGIN 0.192.in-addr.arpa.       8/22    NS       ns.slash-22-holder.example.com.       8       DNAME    8.8/22       9       DNAME    9.8/22       10      DNAME    10.8/22       11      DNAME    11.8/22   A typical entry in the resulting reverse zone for some host with   address 192.0.9.33 might be as follows:        $ORIGIN 8/22.0.192.in-addr.arpa.        33.9    PTR     somehost.slash-22-holder.example.com.   The advisory remarks in [RFC2317] concerning the choice of the "/"   character apply here as well.6.3.  Network Renumbering Support   If IPv4 network renumbering were common, maintenance of address space   delegation could be simplified by using DNAME records instead of NS   records to delegate.       $ORIGIN new-style.in-addr.arpa.       189.190           DNAME    in-addr.example.net.       $ORIGIN in-addr.example.net.       188               DNAME    in-addr.customer.example.com.       $ORIGIN in-addr.customer.example.       1                 PTR      www.customer.example.com       2                 PTR      mailhub.customer.example.com.       ; etc ...   This would allow the address space 190.189.0.0/16 assigned to the ISP   "example.net" to be changed without having to alter the zone data   describing the use of that space by the ISP and its customers.Rose & Wijngaards            Standards Track                   [Page 17]

RFC 6672                    DNAME Redirection                  June 2012   Renumbering IPv4 networks is currently so arduous a task that   updating the DNS is only a small part of the labor, so this scheme   may have a low value.  But it is hoped that in IPv6 the renumbering   task will be quite different, and the DNAME mechanism may play a   useful part.7.  IANA Considerations   The DNAME resource record type code 39 (decimal) originally was   registered by [RFC2672] in the DNS Resource Record (RR) Types   registry table athttp://www.iana.org/assignments/dns-parameters.   IANA has updated the DNS resource record registry to point to this   document for RR type 39.8.  Security Considerations   DNAME redirects queries elsewhere, which may impact security based on   policy and the security status of the zone with the DNAME and the   redirection zone's security status.  For validating resolvers, the   lowest security status of the links in the chain of CNAME and DNAME   redirections is applied to the result.   If a validating resolver accepts wildcarded DNAMEs, this creates   security issues.  Since the processing of a wildcarded DNAME is non-   deterministic and the CNAME that was substituted by the server has no   signature, the resolver may choose a different result than what the   server meant, and consequently end up at the wrong destination.  Use   of wildcarded DNAMEs is discouraged in any case [RFC4592].   A validating resolver MUST understand DNAME, according to [RFC4034].   The examples inSection 5.3.4 illustrate this need.9.

Changes to Server Behavior   Major changes to server behavior from the original DNAME   specification are summarized below:   o  The rules for DNAME substitution have been clarified inSection 2.2.   o  The EDNS option to signal DNAME understanding and compression has      never been specified, and this document clarifies that there is no      signaling method (Section 2.5).   o  The TTL for synthesized CNAME RRs is now set to the TTL of the      DNAME, not zero (Section 3.1).   o  Recursive caching servers MUST perform CNAME synthesis on behalf      of clients (Section 3.4).   o  The revised server algorithm is detailed inSection 3.2.   o  Rules for dynamic update messages adding a DNAME or CNAME RR to a      zone where a CNAME or DNAME already exists are detailed inSection 5.2.A.2.  Changes to Client Behavior   Major changes to client behavior from the original DNAME   specification are summarized below:   o  Clients MUST be able to accept synthesized CNAME RR's with a TTL      of either zero or the TTL of the DNAME RR that accompanies the      CNAME RR.   o  DNSSEC-aware clients SHOULD cache DNAME RRs and MAY cache      synthesized CNAME RRs they receive in the same response.  DNSSEC-      aware clients SHOULD also check the NSEC/NSEC3 type bitmap to      verify that DNAME redirection is to be done.  DNSSEC validators      MUST understand DNAME (Section 5.3).   o  The revised client algorithm is detailed inSection 3.4.1.Rose & Wijngaards            Standards Track                   [Page 21]
