First question is (and RIPE should have the data) how many delegations do they reject because the server is an open recursor ? In today's world, I suspect it would be quite low Tim On Mon, Jun 10, 2019 at 3:23 AM Måns Nilsson <mansaxel@besserwisser.org> wrote:
Recently, a discussion regarding the checks performed by the NCC before reverse delegation is made came up on the members-discuss list. It was concluded that this should be discussed here rather than there.
The members archive might not be available to all, so I'll try to summarize. Please add your take on summary if you find mine lacking.
The questioned practice was that the NCC rejects the delegation request if the target server is found to be an open recursor.
Some participants argued that this is not a technical problem, and some said yes it is.
Some held that the NCC has no authority blocking a request, but it was argued that every delegation is subject to RFC 1591 responsibilites.
For starters, are the delegation requirements described somewhere?
