Last Call: Secondary service on ns.ripe.net for reverse delegations
by Peter Koch 19 Sep '07

19 Sep '07

Dear WG, at the Tallinn meeting, Brett Carr gave a presentation on DNS operations at the RIPE NCC. In his report a proposal regarding the DNS name service for /16 reverse was made. See <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/wg/dns/r54-minutes.html>, item [D] for the minutes and slide 12 of the presentation <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/meetings/ripe-54/presentations/DNS_update.pdf> for details. This resulted in action item 54.1 on the NCC to solicit feedback on the proposal. Brett started a thread on the DNS WG mailing list on May, 14th <http://www.ripe.net/ripe/maillists/archives/dns-wg/2007/msg00107.html> (Message-ID: <4A6256C3-97B5-4415-BC93-9A2978A01A20(a)ripe.net>). Summary: To eliminate an inconsistency between IPv4 and IPv6 policies, where /16 reverse on ns.ripe.net is mandatory for v4 and there's no such policy for v6, three options were given: 1) Make ns.ripe.net mandatory on ipv4 and ipv6 delegations 2) Make ns.ripe.net optional on ipv4 and ipv6 delegations 3) Discontinue the secondary service on ns.ripe.net for new delegations. The NCC's preference was (2). The thread started as mentioned above saw 8 replies until June. Those who expressed an opinion were in favour of going forward with (2). Since the thread hasn't been active for a while, the WG chairs would like to issue a Last Call on this topic. Please take these remarks into consideration: o While cost of service has been mentioned, detailed discussion would be a topic for the NCC Services WG. For now we assume that the cost structure (essentially: no additional cost) will remain unmodified. o When the secondary service is "optional" this should be read in a symmetric way, i.e. not only the /16 maintainer can choose to opt-out, but also the NCC could, on reasonable operational grounds, terminate or not activate support for a particular zone. Now, finally, even though this issue is not subject to the PDP, this is a Last Call until Friday, 31 August 2007, 12:00 UTC Please voice your opinion, the default will be to continue with (2) above. We'd like to ask the NCC to prepare an implementation plan after this date. -Peter Koch [DNS WG co-chair]
