So I’ve come across this on Qualys and just wondering if there’s any practical examples out there in the wild. I know some BIND guys are on here, so I’m sure I’m missing something from the RFCs. Just wanted to test this out on my play domains before putting it out in the wild...
As of 2016-12-31, here are CAA records for 143 domains: https://gist.github.com/roycewilliams/a5b2d26edf3b64ecf77a75f943de079f That gist contains all CAA (or unparsed/raw type 257) records as seen in the Rapid7 "DNS ANY" dataset [1] from 2016-12-31. Interestingly, google.com as noted by Nolan side-thread isn't in this dataset. Since "DNS ANY" is a superset of all DNS picked up by other scans, it may be that Rapid7's scanning isn't incidentally catching many CAA records. An explicit scan for CAA records (against, say, in all domains seen in DNS ANY) would likely be interesting. Also, I've requested that cPanel add CAA support to the DNS management tools. If that would be of use to you, feel free to upvote the feature [2]. Some good CAA refs are [3],[4],and [5].
