IETF I-D: Current issues with DNS Configuration Options for SLAAC
Folks, We have published a new IETF I-D entitled "Current issues with DNS Configuration Options for SLAAC", about existing problems with the DNS configuration options used with SLAAC. The I-D is available at: <http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-gont-6man-slaac-dns-config-issues-00.txt>. Abstract: ---- cut here ---- RFC 6106 specifies two Neighbor Discovery options that can be included in Router Advertisement messages to convey information about DNS recursive servers and DNS Search Lists. Small lifetime values for the aforementioned options have been found to cause interoperability problems in those network scenarios in which these options are used to convey DNS-related information. This document analyzes the aforementioned problem, and formally updates RFC 6106 such that these issues are mitigated. ---- cut here ---- This version of the I-D discusses different *alternative* mitigations for the forementioned problem. Your input will be very appreciated. Thanks! Best regards, -- Fernando Gont e-mail: fernando@gont.com.ar || fgont@si6networks.com PGP Fingerprint: 7809 84F5 322E 45C7 F1C9 3945 96EE A9EF D076 FFF1
