o prevent introducing more DNS servers with such issues, testing of new DNS equipment should include checking that the response for records is in accordance with the RFCs (in particular [RFC1035], [RFC3597] and [RFC4074] mentioned above).
Hmmm... I'd say this recommendation is a little to "narrow". For IPv6 misbehavior these 3 RFCs are probably sufficient but there are also other DNS extensions that new implementations should be able to deal with. Most particular the middleboxes like load balancers should know about protocol extensions such as EDNS0 and DNSSEC. I understand that this document is IPv6 specific but maybe being a little more generic here might help implementors to realize they have to do more. --Olaf ----------------------------------------------------------- Olaf M.
