namedroppers@ops.ietf.org is the mailing list for the ietf dnsext wg.  see
<http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/dnsext-charter.html> for the wg charter.
messages should be on topics appropriate to the dnsext wg, which are various
discussion of the dns protocols or administrivia of the wg itself.

calls for papers, announcements of events not directly relevant to the dns
protocols, etc. are not appropriate.  discussion of problems with particular
implementations, announcements of releases, sites' misconfigurations, etc.
should be done on mailing lists for the particular implementations.

there is a wg for dns operational practice, dnsop, whose charter can be
found at <http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/dnsop-charter.html>.

there is a mailing list for discussion of whose implementation is better,
and why someone else's is broken.  it is weenie-war@ops.ietf.org.  all
discussions of such nature should occur there or on /dev/null.  unlike the
namedroppers list, weenie-war@ops.ietf.org is not archived.

questions or concerns related to the acceptance or rejection of
specific messages to the namedroppers mailing list should first be
discussed with the wg chairs, with followup appeals using the normal
appeals process of rfc 2026 (i.e., follup with area directors, then
iesg, etc.).

there is a mailing list for the discussion of ietf processes, which
includes any general discussion of the moderation of ietf mailing
lists.  it is poised@lists.tislabs.com

I'm going to assume that you've reach a state of torture over the higher
processing demands from multiple queries, where fallback processing always
requires two questions to the delegation tree, the first of which always
results in SERVFAIL.

Since this is a general problem whenever any new features are added to the
message by the end-nodes, one way out of this may be to define a
standardized caching scheme for SERVFAIL (defined as a separate document)
which tells querying agents how long they should keep track of SERVFAIL
errors. With this information, a querying agent would only need to
discover once that a server did not support some feature, and could then
use this information to avoid making the first query multiple times (at
least for the duration of the timer value).

In the context of multiple questions in EDNS1, this would mean that a
cache which had learned that (say) the root servers did not support EDNS1
would be able to remember this for a certain amount of time, and that
cache would be able to proceed directly to the fallback step, without
having to get the SERVFAIL error first.

As a first stab towards such an algorithm, I would suggest that the TTL
for the NS RR query target be used for the seed value, with a reasonable
upper limit of (say) ~48 hours.

Example, an EDNS1 query for foo.vix.com is sent to a.root-servers.net, but
triggers a SERVFAIL error. Upon receipt of this error, the querying node
examines its cache for the TTL of a.root-servers.net (3,600,000 seconds in
the default root-cache database, assuming that some other value has not
yet been learned from an authoritative NS RRset), reduces this value to 48
hours, and applies the resulting value to the root zone. For the duration
of that time, the querying node "remembers" not to issue the failing query
and proceeds to the fallback step in the logic for any subsequent queries.
So, if another EDNS1 query arrives for www.example.com which would
normally be sent to f.root-servers.net, the server does not issue the
query, but instead acts as if a SERVFAIL response has already been
received for that query.

This still leaves open the EDNS1-specific question of serialized
(high-TTL) versus parallel (high-load) fallback queries, but it gets us to
that point in the logic without having contributed to root meltdown.

	Eric,
	      discover of EDNS rev is easy compared with discover of
	EDNS support.  The latter is done by probing and look for
	SERVFAIL or NOTIMP or FORMERR or lack of a OPT record in
	the response of timeouts from servers that don't talk RFC 103[45].
	The former is built into the EDNS spec.

	Note you can't use SERVFAIL by itself to determine if a
	server supports EDNS as it generates too many false positives.
	Similarly lack of response is not a good indication of lack
	of EDNS response.

	FORMERR and NOTIMP are good indications as is the lack of a OPT
	record in the response to a EDNS query.

	Mark

Yeah, I meant to include FORMERR and NOTIMPL in the SERVFAIL category.

This does bring up another point however, which is that the heuristics for
failure are different for each different feature/extension. For example,
consider an application which used an extended label type. That particular
application would have its own heuristics apart from the other kinds of
failures which might emerge.

There is also the ugly condition where multiple failures are preventing
progress. In this scenario, multiple fallback conditions may have to be
exercised simultaneously by the requester, although detecting multiple
failures from a single SERVFAIL [...] may not be practical.

In the short term, a generalized protocol for caching errors may make some
sense, as a sister spec to the negative caching spec. Separately, each
application would also have to define its own heuristics as part of any
fallback processing that it also defines (eg, detecting version failure
versus no-EDNS failure).

There is another issue with the proposed use of discrete NS RRs as an
input, which is that a single failing server will mean that all of the
servers for that zone will be marked as non-compliant with the spec in
question. If one of the servers refuses an extension, then that extension
would not be used for any of them for the duration of the error cache.
Whether this is a problem or a feature, I haven't yet decided.

In the loooong term, a mechanism for reporting multiple failures would be
a nice feature (something like a pointer to the problematic field in the
original question, or an array of pointers when multiple problems are
found). I don't think this is feasible currently.

As I recall, we need to write:

- The impact on: Authoritative servers (but this is already clear in draft
                 IMHO)
                 [caching] resolvers (basically the change to the resolver
                 algorihm)
- The current issues:
                 Clear AD-bit on an opt-in response.
                 (I think this will be taken care of by the "AD-bit is
                 secure" authors ).

The other (main) issue is caching of NXT/SIG(NXT). When not individually
queried for, they MUST be cached as properties of QNAME/QCLASS/QTYPE or as
an integral part of the entire answer. They MUST NOT be stored as
individual records. However, these are DNSSEC issues which are inherited
by Opt-In. In other words, caches are not more then a "response replay"
box, which is only allowed to alter the TTLs of records and the
[E]DNS-header.

Some of the above were stated by Olafur last week during the DS workshop,
others were a result of research by Rob Austein and me (which was
presented at Yokohama).

More specifically, what needs to be in the opt-in draft that isn't
already there about this?  Or is what is in the draft just not clear
enough? (I am asking the list, not just Roy)

Ok.  Does this mean the AD bit behavior does not need to be opt-in
draft at all?  Or just a reference to a new AD-bit draft?

I do not understand the harm in also caching the NXTs as individual
records.  This is probably because I do not fully understand the
corner case you and Rob Austein investigated.

What I do understand is this: opt-in creates a case where for a
postive response, a cache must be able to return the covering opt-in
NXT that goes with the response, and that NXT record does NOT share
its name with qname.  Hence, the cache should store the NXT records as
properties of the original qname.  I also know that this case also
shows up in negative caching, with or without opt-in.  Well, there
will most likely be more than one NXT record to cache in this manner,
as there will most likely be at least one wild-card proof NXT.

But why shouldn't the cache be able to respond for an explict query
for one of those NXT records?

This is for Opt-in to specify, not AD due to dependancy reasons, this
definition is only needed if both AD and Opt-in are part of the standard.

For the record: this relates to use of NXT between the two names
on the NXT (record name and the target name).
In DNSSEC where AD bit is used (either RFC2535 or AD-secure definition),
the AD bit can be set on responce if it is authenticated denial with NXT,
for the QNAME if the
	NXTNAME  == QNAME or (NXTNAME < QNAME and QNAME < NXTargetNAME )

Opt-in NXT must define that this that NXT can only be used when
NXTNAME == QNAME to set the AD bit.

> Some of the above were stated by Olafur last week during the DS workshop,

Then there is the minor issue of bytes on the wire, are responses
from Opt-in zones smaller/same/larger than from regular DNSSEC zones.

And then there is the issue on memory usage in caches, there was an
assertation that opt-in zones cause more memory consumption than other
DNSSEC zones.

Wait, thats not what I wrote. When explicitly queried for, yes, the cache
can replay the response if, and only if it was cached as result of a
previous explicit query for that NXT.

Sure, explicit queries for qtype NXT are okay, as long as cache follows
the query, and NOT _reconstruct_ responses from cache. If it has been
cached as an individual QNAME/QCLASS/QTYPE, than the cache can simply
respond that. But again, simply replay the response, not reconstruct.

I don't understand what you just wrote.

This issue is as follows:

"AD-is-secure" states that the AD bit may be set when _all_ resource
records in a [negative] response are cryptographically verified to be
valid.

An Opt-in negative response reaching the resolver only has signed records.
This implies AD=1.

But, this negative response might have been a positive Opt-In response
when it has left the authoritative server.

When AD=1 is sent to an application/stub/whatever which places trust in
this bit, the application/stub/whatever is effectively misled. So, AD=0 on
an Opt-In response effectively takes care of this situation.

This is true,

A positive response with Opt-in holds:    QTYPE+NXT+SIG(NXT).

A positive response without Opt-in holds: QTYPE+SIG(QTYPE).

What I was really asking is why the "only if it was cached as result
of a previous explicit query for that NXT" condition?

If I get NXT records (opt-in or otherwise) in the authority section of
a response, I need to cache these NXTs as properties of the qname, but
why can't I ALSO cache them as ordinary records?

The reason I am pursuing this is that I'm trying to imagine how I
would build a cache, and I am thinking that I would like to store the
NXT records just like any other record in my cache, while having other
cache values have pointers to it (rather than storing the NXT set in
toto with the original qname).

The positive response with opt-in also needs to contain proof that there's
no secure wildcard, otherwise secure wildcards can be spoofed away.  This
will mean another SIG and SIG(NXT) in almost every case.

Let me see if I can remember this example that Roy worked through
with me in Yokohama (at a very expensive bar, eh Roy? ;)

Assume you've got this record at time T0:

 a in ...
   in nxt k ...

At time T1 you make a query for f and get the "a in nxt k" response.
Now, at time T2 the zone is changed and you now have records:

 a ...
   in nxt d
 d ...
   in nxt k
 
At time T3 you make a query for e.  You now have two overlapping NXT
records, a->k and d->k.

Now you make a query for d.  What do you do?  You've now got an
authoritative negative query for "d" in your cache, but you've also
got an authoritative positive response for 'd' in the zone (not
cached).

Note that this is not just a problem with Opt-in, but opt-in makes the
problem worse because records can not only change in terms of
existance but also in terms of whether they are signed.

Hopefully Roy can better explain this particular issue.

That's not the issue.  The issue is if you make a request for
NameA/ClassA/TypeA and cache the NXT response, then make a request for
NameB/ClassB/TypeB, you should not respond with the NXT obtained from
the A/A/A request.  In other words, you should not promote the NXT
response from request 1 across to request2 unless the Name/Class/Type
are the same.

NXT records are just special..  The reason is that they can cause a
failure in other records, which can lock out a large portion of a zone
for long periods of time.

As I said, hopefully Roy can better explain this.

No, you don't need proof for wildcards.

If I was to spoof a resolver, proof of [non-]existence of secure wildcards
does not prevent or help me do that.

If you asked for something in an unsecured interval, all bets are off.

Remember that this is for delegations only. Are you suggesting proof
of [absent] signed wildcard delegations ?

This is indeed the problem. This problem exist with any accidental
"interval overlap".

The example I gave in Yokohama had not a match with any QNAME:

cached was:

a NXT e
c NXT f

and the query is for d. Which proof of non-existence does a cache return.

You did it very well.

NXT records are more a statement on other records/types then that they are
individual records. (or: NXT records just suck).

Note that wildcards are in a zone, delegation points are outside a zone,
therefor you can't use wildcard delegations, and thus no proof for
existing wildcard delegation is needed.

By "NXTNAME," do you mean the NXT RR set owner name?  (ONAME?)

Also, there is the case that the "target" name = apex name ( = signer name).

Suppose my caching resolver first issues the following:

Q: foo.bar. IN A

And gets back:

AUTH: a.bar IN NXT g.bar
      a.bar IN SIG NXT ...

Next, it issues the following:

Q: a.bar. IN NXT

is there a problem returning:

ANS: a.bar IN NXT g.bar
     a.bar IN SIG NXT ...

?

Or even:

Q: a.bar. IN ANY

ANS: a.bar IN NXT ...
     a.bar IN SIG NXT ...

Note that I'm not suggesting that the resolver build negative proof
out of NXT records that it has in its cache.  You (and Roy)
illustrated the potential problems with that fairly clearly.

I am trying to draw a distinction between Roy's stated requirement
that "[NXT records] MUST NOT be stored as individual records", and a
slightly weaker restriction that resolvers MUST NOT use cached NXT
records to construct new negative (or opt-in) proofs.

Of course, I think that this particular example that I'm bringing up
is not very natural.  I'm not sure that this particular query sequence
would occur except for debugging.

When I said this, I was not imagining that the resolver be able to do
anything with the NXT records other than respond to a direct query for
them.

You did a pretty good job.

it's starting to seem to me that answers containing NXT should include an
SOA in the authority section.  (even though that means nonauthoritative
servers will have to cache them, which today is illegal.)  when new secure
(verified) data arrives with a later SOA.SERIAL, all the older cached data
for that zone becomes invalid.

this is something we've discussed previously for all data, not just security
metagoo.  it has a high price both in storage, transport, and computation,
but not as high as dnssec overall, so i think it's finally worth considering.

Let me give a different example (similar to before).  Note that
between query-1 and query-2 the zone has changed.

Q: foo.bar. IN A
AUTH: a.bar IN NXT g.bar
      a.bar IN SIG NXT ...

Q: baz.bar. IN A

      a.bar IN SIG NXT ...

Q: a.bar IN ANY (or IN NXT)

What do you return here?  This is still the same problem.  Do you
return both?  Do you choose one?

Yes, but as I (hopefully) pointed out, it can be just as problematic.

Yes, the problem is that you synthesize parts of a negative response to
satisfy a positive response. Next to the TTL issues involved, the matching
algorithm to satisfy the query from cache is horribly complicated,
especially when different caching methods are used for pos. and neg.
caching.

If you mean QTYPE=* then this poses another difficulty (DNSSEC, not
Opt-In). With this optimised matching, you might not find a complete
answer.  Since you probably want all record types that exist at an owner
name (listed in the NXT type bit map), but you only get the NXT record
from cache, since that satisfies the matching. There is no way to get a
better response, other then wait TTL+1 second.

Okay, but the first example looked like you are doing exactly that.

Wait, it is no problem to cache NXT records as individual records, but
_only_ as a result of a query where QTYPE is NXT.

This is what I said:

     "The other (main) issue is caching of NXT/SIG(NXT). When not
      individually queried for, they MUST be cached as properties of
      QNAME/QCLASS/QTYPE or as an integral part of the entire answer.
      They MUST NOT be stored as individual records."

The key-sentence here is "When not individually queried for". I referred
to type=NXT

No, I'm suggesting proof of absent wildcards.  While opt-in might be 
restricted to delegations, that doesn't mean that the zone is.

For example, consider the foo.com zone, with:
@	SOA
	NS
*	A
a	NS
c	NS
e	NS

Without DNSSEC, querying for www.b.foo.com will hit the wildcard A record, 
and querying for www.c.foo.com will return a referral.

Now sign the zone, and have 'a' and 'e' signed, and 'c' unsigned:

@	SOA
	SIG SOA
	NS
	SIG NS
	KEY
	SIG KEY
	NXT
	SIG NXT
*	A
	SIG A
	NXT
	SIG NXT
a	NS
	DS
	SIG DS
	NXT
	SIG NXT
c	NS
e	NS
	DS
	SIG DS
	NXT
	SIG NXT

(Hope I didn't miss anything there)

Query for www.c.foo.com.  According to your claim, you should just give 
out the referral (NS + DS + SIG DS) and the proof that the name is 
insecure (a's NXT and SIG NXT).

Query for www.b.foo.com, and have a malicious server replay a response
with the same insecurity proof, and a forged unsigned referral.  There's
no way to prove it's false, and you've now spoofed away the existence of a
secure name, since www.b.foo.com was secure in the non-optin case.

Yes, this is bad.

Brian

Why stop at outlawing them in signed zones? :-)

Once you convince the world that following is not needed in any zone.

*       MX      10 <mail1>
         MX      20 <mail2>

Then killing wildcards is becomes a possibility.

"convincing the world" == "boiling the ocean."  let's just convince the
world that if they want wildcards then they have already discarded all
hope of security, so they don't need dnssec for zones using wildcards.

folk use wildcard MX.  expect significant wildcard use in e164.arpa to
point whole city or country codes off to ldap servers.  etc.

the case for dnssec is thin enough as it is and right now can't withstand
even the slightest restriction of functionality.

nope.  i'm just giving up on pleasing you, for now at least.  if i hear from
anyone else i'll assume that EDNS1 is worth pursuing.  otherwise it's dead
and you should just repost the ADDR draft.  i cannot keep up with such high
argument-volume from a single participant unless there is some evidence from
someone else in the community that the effort of continuing would be
worthwhile.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----


I have seen no discussion about my proposal. I will assume that it was
well taken. 

I would ask that the WG consider adopting proposal for incorporation into the
new set of DNSSEC documents that are being prepared. 

====

I would very much like to make sure that restrict-key-for-dnssec properly
documents the arguments, so that they don't need to repeated endlessly.

This means detailing the following things:

1) "problematic" (I would write text, but I don't know what the problems are).

2) Detail, with an example, how additional KEY RR at the APEX of a zone 
   cause problems for resolvers. 

3) explain how public keys and IP addresses are different. Explain
   how it is that we are willing to sign A records, even though it is
   often the case that one is managed by network admins, while the other is
   managed by DNS admins.

4) how the solution of moving non-DNSSEC keys to another RR deals with
   the motivations 2,3,5,6. It seems that the presence of any non-DNSSEC
   key could "confuse" someone.

5) explain the impact of DS on the concerns about exchange of public
   key info with the parent.

6) explain why rules concerning placement of non-DNSSEC KEY RR will not
   solve the described problems.

the arguments are simple, we need keys to sign dns data.  

on the other hand, arguing why it should not be used for an
innumerable set of other things is not known to terminate.
hence endlessness is expected.  life goes on.

Paul--
Please don't put EDNS1 in a sack and throw it off a bridge. 
From my read of the re-written EDNS1 I believe it's worth pursuing,
as I believe that it's A. better than the Eric's ADDR draft and
B. correct and nearly sufficient as it currently stands.

Actually, I think it's better already than some of the pre-existing
DNS-related RFCs, in terms of adequately specifying the details.  While
I understand that Eric would prefer to have many more things included,
I don't believe that such changes are immediately required...and EDNS1
would be better in several (small but useful) ways than what we have now.

(If) there's going to be a flag day soon that will require many
implementors to consider changes; now might be a sensible time to
try to get EDNS1 out there as well--IMHO anyway.

I think multiple queries is a good idea, if we can work out all
the corner cases.

Agreed.  And there are a couple of 90% answers to the initial-overhead
problem:

  1. Wait a few years before taking advantage of multiple queries on a
large scale.  Most name servers will have upgraded for other reasons.

  2. Cache (by IP address) whether a name server supports EDNS1. 
Particularly at the stub resolver, this can effectively reduce the
overhead.

I don't know whether EDNS1 is worth pursuing at this time, and "don't
know" isn't a euphemism for "it's not", I really don't know.

If the caching system is hopelessly screwed and we need to do
something else to let the application forcibly optimize the query
process, I think that EDNS1 is the right "something else" to pursue.

However, since the available evidence to date has not convinced me
that the caching system is hopelessly screwed, I'd rather just let the
caching system do its thing and avoid another nontrivial protocol
change while we're trying to finish DNSSEC.

Not blaming anybody for the lack of hard evidence or running down
Paul's EDNS1 proposal, BTW, just trying to answer Paul's implied
question.

Paul, I hope one day to kill wild cards but there is no way that can
be done without educating the current users/abusers of wild cards how to
accomplish the same thing without wild cards.

You (as an author on a book about real popular mail delivery program)
are in much better position than most of us to explain why wildcards
are not needed for Mail delivery.

If that argument can be made, then largest current usage of wildcards
can be explained away, then we can take on the next group and so on.
Before we know it there will be no reason to use wild cards at that point
we can take on the standards action of removing wild card support in DNS.

We must not offend potential users of DNSSEC by taking away something they
depend on every day.

that's fine, though.  there are three classes of wildcard user, and none
of them is affected in any way by my proposal to preclude wildcard names
from being present in signed zones.

1. for folks who use * because they don't want to enumerate a lot of names,
they can just start enumerating those names.  it's possible that they would
then ask for opt-in depending on how many names we'd be talking about, but
they have a workaround over and above "just don't sign that zone, then."

2. for folks who use * because they cannot enumerate because the names are
not knowable in advance, dnssec would not make their zone more secure and
they should not miss it since it wouldn't do them any good anyway.

3. for folks who use * because it was in some template zone and they never
actually depend on it since their genericfrom mail addresses all end in
@DOM rather than @HOST.DOM, they can just remove the nfg *.

most uses of wildcard are of the third (completely gratuitious and unused)
kind.  i think we have overcomplicated an already fragile dnssec design and 
considerably lengthened its specification/development/deployment cycle for
the protection of wildcarding that does not matter.  the DS problem is just
the last straw for secure wildcards.  let's legislate them out of existence.

> You (as an author on a book about real popular mail delivery program)

i see your mail here as From: ...@ogud.com.  no wildcards are needed to
reply to it.  it's only if your mail was From: ...@ENGILL.ogud.com or
From: ...@mail.dc.ogud.com *AND* you did not want to install MX's for
both engill and mail.dc that a "* MX" would be necessary.

go for it.

> Before we know it there will be no reason to use wild cards at that point
> we can take on the standards action of removing wild card support in DNS.

no.  we must not invalidate existing zones.  we can however make a sieve for
them such that only zones without wildcards can utilize the DNSSEC featureset.

gentlemen, thank you for those affirmations, let's keep pushing EDNS1 then.

i'll ask eric to find an intermediary -- rob a. would be ideal -- to try
to collate and communicate his (eric's) concerns, since i'm having a LOT
of trouble digesting them directly.

i wish that i agreed with that second sentence, but the surveys still show
an awful lot of bind4.8.1 servers out on the net, plus others more recent.

>   2. Cache (by IP address) whether a name server supports EDNS1.

this is mentioned, obliquely, in EDNS0:

   5.3. Responders who do not understand these protocol extensions are
   expected to send a response with RCODE NOTIMPL, FORMERR, or SERVFAIL.
   Therefore use of extensions should be ``probed'' such that a responder
   who isn't known to support them be allowed a retry with no extensions if
   it responds with such an RCODE.  If a responder's capability level is
   cached by a requestor, a new probe should be sent periodically to test
   for changes to responder capability.

i think this is the part rob a. had trouble with, that begat edns0.5.

i think kre's analysis applies here, so i won't repeat it, but i will
put in my own two bits.  caching, specifically negative caching, can
speed up the total dns transaction time and thus cut down the interval
between "when you know where you want to go" and "when you can initiate
your session".  this is critical for overall "internet" performance,
perhaps more significant than the bits per second per flow will be in
the average case.

i won't quibble about the lack of negative caching deployment, since
EDNS1 would have a similar deployment mountain to climb.

however, the cost of a cache miss will be higher with two full round
trips from the intermediate server to the authority server than it is
with one.  if we expect AAAA and A, or MX and A, or all three, to be a
common query pattern in the future, and if we expect any diversity among
query patterns (such that some clients might query in one order while
others query in some other order), then new successful flows will remain
expensive due to the (positive) cache misses and new error flows will
remain expensive due to the (negative) cache misses.  forever.

i see multiple queries as (1) an intended part of the original
architecture which was left underspecified, and (2) a necessary feature
in the long run if we don't want dns to remain a significant part of our
total transaction or session initiation times.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: KEY RR Key Signing (KS) Flag
	Author(s)	: O. Kolkman
	Filename	: draft-ietf-dnsext-keyrr-key-signing-flag-00.txt
	Pages		: 6
	Date		: 2002-9-4
	
The Introduction of the DS [1] record has introduced the concept of
KEY signing and zone signing keys.  In general, KEY signing keys are
the keys that are pointed to by DS records and are the secure entry
points to a zone.  The key signing keys only sign the KEY RRset at
the apex of a zone, zone signing keys sign all data in a zone.  We
propose a flag to distinguish the KEY signing key from other keys in
the KEY RR set during DNSSEC operations.

When I first started playing with DNS implementations in '95 I was
very surprised to find out that one could not send multiple queries in
one message.  What's the point of the query count if the value _must_
be 1?

At the time, I was working on a Secure Dynamic Update implementation
and, as I recall having multiple queries would have helped me
significantly.

In other words, I agree COMPLETELY that multiple queries were an
intended part of the original archicture, but I also believe that (at
the time) there were too many potential issues (corner cases) so
people didn't want to cope.

i don't think they were de-coped at specification time.  older versions
of bind did not even check QDCOUNT at query time -- they just decoded a
single QNAME, QCLASS, and QTYPE and assumed that this left them pointing
at the first thing in the answer section.  in one of my early sweeps, i
chose to put in "if (qdcount != 1) fail" rather than a "for" loop, since
the meaning of "(qdcount > 1)" was completely unclear in RFC 1035.

Suggesting that I be filtered to avoid your problem with ~too many
questions is absurd.

A reminder seems in order here, EDNS1 was dead *before* I restarted the
discussion on multiple questions (see <3D51AEA8.9020600@ehsco.com>). You
can either answer the questions I ask or answer them when they are asked
by somebody else or let EDNS1 die again, but if you kill it again or if it
is killed again, it certainly won't be my fault.

This document was discussed by the IESG today.
Here are the comments:


Section 2.1 describes some of the differences between Application Keys
and DNSSEC Keys. However, some of the text (e.g., reasons 3 and
onward) use upper case MUST/SHOULD language in a confusing way. I
suspect the intent is to describe what the existing RFCs require from
these Keys, but it would be better to not use that terminology at all
here (since Application keys are being deprecated, it seems odd for
this document to be saying what one SHOULD do when processing them)
and just describe what the differences are in a more reader-friendly
way. For example:

   3.  DNSSEC zone keys are used to authenticate application keys, but
   application keys MUST NOT be used to authenticate DNS zone keys.  A
   DNS zone key is either configured as trusted key or authenticated by
   constructing a chain of trust in the DNS hierarchy.  To participate
   in the chain of trust, a DNS zone needs to exchange zone key
   information with its parent zone [2].  Application keys are not
   configured as trusted keys in the DNS and are never part of any DNS
   chain of trust.  Application key data SHOULD not be exchanged with
   the parent zone.  A resolver considers an application key
   authenticated if it has a valid signature from the local DNS zone
   keys, but applications could impose additional requirements before
   the application key is accepted as authentic.

might be better as:

   3.  DNSSEC zone keys are used to authenticate application keys, but
   by definition application keys are not allowed to authenticate DNS
   zone keys.  A DNS zone key is either configured as a trusted key or
   authenticated by constructing a chain of trust in the DNS
   hierarchy.  To participate in the chain of trust, a DNS zone needs
   to exchange zone key information with its parent zone [2].  In
   contrast, Application keys are not configured as trusted keys in
   the DNS and are never part of any DNS chain of trust.  Application
   key data is not generally exchanged with the parent zone.  A
   resolver considers an Application key authenticated if it has a
   valid signature from the local DNS zone keys. However, applications
   will likely impose additional requirements (outside the scope of
   DNSSEC checks) before accepting the application key as authentic.

Sections 4-6 would benefit from similar changes.

Nits:

The document sometimes capitalizes "Application key" and
sometimes doesn't. Be consistent? (And shouldn't it then be
"Application Key".)

uses "isi.edu" rather than "example.com". I don't have a big problem
with this, but should they switch?

> with a response that contain the www.isi.edu A record and SIG record.
s/contain/contains/

> the SIG and authenticate the www.isi.edu A record.  It is typical not

s/typical/typically/

   record.  Note that by placing application keys in the KEY record, a
   resolver will need the IPSEC, email, TLS, and other key associated
   with isi.edu if the resolver intends to authenticate the isi.edu zone
   key (since signatures only apply to the entire KEY RR set).

s/will/would/? I.e., this document is deprecated application keys, so
this should not be "will" it seems.

(Reading this a few days late, so this may have been answered already...)

The danger comes from NXT's whose reported owner name is the result 
of a wildcard match.  Let's say I ask for data whose QNAME that does 
not exist but matches a wildcard.  Further, the QTYPE is absent at 
the wildcard.

So there will be a returned NXT that looks like it belongs to the 
QNAME (but the SIG label count will contain info that says it is a 
wildcard).  Holding this NXT isn't dangerous, and it is fine to 
replay it (from the cache) for a repeat of the same query (QNAME, 
QTYPE, and QCLASS).

The "danger" is in the cache's trying to use the NXT to respond to 
any other query - QTYPE'.  Because the NXT is synthetic, it might be 
used incorrectly to declare QTYPE' does not exist (or that a QTYPE at 
it is absent).  So the danger is not caching the record, the danger 
is in incorrectly using the cached, synthetic NXT.

I can't think of any damage in answering with the cached, synthetic 
NXT if the QNAME is the same as the original and the QTYPE=IN.  (And 
QCLASS is appropriately set - off hand I don't know what is 
"appropriate.")

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: DNS Security Document Roadmap
	Author(s)	: S. Rose
	Filename	: draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-roadmap-06.txt
	Pages		: 15
	Date		: 2002-9-6
	
DNS Security (DNSSEC)technology is composed of extensions to the
Domain Name System (DNS) protocol that provide data integrity and
authentication to security aware resolvers and applications through
the use of cryptographic digital signatures.  Several documents exist
to describe these extensions and the implementation-specific details
regarding specific digital signing schemes.  The interrelationship
between these different documents is discussed here.  A brief
overview of what to find in which document and author guidelines for
what to include in new DNS Security documents, or revisions to
existing documents, is described.

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:

The document uses rather inexact language about "case sensitive" and "lower
case" - it would be quite helpful to point out that the DNS servers notion
of "case" is limited to octets that are in the ASCII range.
Otherwise folks will continue to discuss what case sensitive means
for octet values >128.

I don't know whether this belongs or not, but it would seem
useful to somewhere specify the behavior of unknown classes.
Would that make sense in this document? Or in a separate "unknown-classes"
document? 
The reason I think this would be useful is because there are people that
are contemplating introducing a new class to the DNS, and I don't know
if we currently know how things behave and how we'd like things to behave
when they see an unknown class.

Indepedent of the IDN I think the DNS protocol specifications must be
clear on how octets above 128 are processed, since all values are legal
in the domain names as carried in the DNS protocol.

Saying "case insensitive" is IMHO not sufficiently well defined.
Saying that the octet values in the US-ASCII range are compared
case insenstively but other octet values (128-255) are compared
exactly would be a more clear specification.
Similarly for "lower case".

i agree.

there is no necessity to specify that character processing is
performed for octet values (128-255).

Yet another of those things that (a) seemed "obvious" back when we all
knew that one of the most heavily used server platforms on the
Internet represented text as 7-bit bytes and (b) somehow never got
written down in all the years since that platform went away.

Yes, we probably need another short clarifying document, or another
section to some omnibus clarifying document, or something.

Don't worry - from now on I'll be perfectly fair on this point.
(And I've noted but not yet told folks that the same issue
appears in at least one of draft-ietf-dnsext-dnssec-*).

Since this is the first document with this language that is likely to
come to IESG since we started the IDN discussions I think it makes sense
to do it right. Of course, others are welcome to help draft the appropriate
text to use for "case insensitive" and "lower case" - it would be good
to use the same wording in the future specifications.

So the document at hand is about "uknown RDATA formats" independently
of where they appear? Perhaps this should be made explicit somewhere 
(title/abstract/intro somewhere?)

Sorry, this is FUD.   You have made a completely unsupported statement 
that bears no relationship of which I am aware to anything that is 
actually happening in the world.

The case for DNSSEC is thick as a brick.   What is missing is a 
practical path to deployment for early adopters.   This is, as far as 
I've been able to tell from watching this process for some time now, 
because the cost of providing support to early adopters is the same as 
the cost of providing support once everybody's adopted it, and this 
represents what is seen to be an unsurmountable barrier to adoption.   
This has absolutely nothing to do with functionality, or restrictions 
thereof.

If we can lower the barrier for early adopters by getting rid of 
wildcards in secured zones, we should do it.   If you think that this 
statement is incorrect, you should make a logical argument, based on 
verifiable facts, that refutes it.   You should not engage in FUD.

The language of the unknown-rrs draft is no more inexact than that of
STD0013, or of other RFCs that reference the case insensitivity, e.g.,
RFC2535.  You have a valid criticism of STD0013, but turning that into
a criticism of the unknown-rrs draft is inappropriate and unfair.

The draft already defines the behavior of unknown classes with
respect to the draft's subject matter of known versus unknown RDATA
formats:

  In the case of a type whose RDATA format is class specific, an RR is
  considered to be of unknown type when the RDATA format for that
  combination of type and class is not known.

There are several other aspects of DNS classes that are poorly
specified or insufficiently explained in STD0013 and that would be of
interest to those contemplating the introduction new classes, but
those are unrelated to the questions of known versus unknown RDATA
formats that this draft is trying to address, and they apply equally
to known and unknown classes.  Those would best be addressed in a
separate draft (named "classes", not "unknown-classes").

As Rob Austein said, this belongs in a separate draft of
clarifications to STD0013.  We shouldn't have to duplicate the
clarifictions in every draft that happens to mention case
insensitivity.

No, we shouldn't.   But nor should we be writing language that is
known now to be incomplete, or ambiguous.

New drafts don't need to "fix" 1034/5 (except one written just for the
purpose), but it should be possible to read them, and make sense of them,
without the clarifications doc needing to also update this new one.

If a new draft wants to just say "according to the DNS rules for
character comparisons", that's fine I think - the doc isn't attempting
to specify the rules.

But if it says "lower case compare equal to upper case" or "ignore case"
then a clarifications doc would have to fix this one, as well as the older
ones, and since we know now that it needs fixing, that's plain dumb.   Make
this doc be correct as it stands (as best we know what correct is anyway).

Or, if you like, pretend that there is a clarifications doc already existing
which has already fixed this problem for the older docs - and write this
one so that it makes sense in that environment (which would be one where
just saying "ignore case when comparing labels" is simply inadequate).

If folks agree then I guess the co-chairs need to make sure that draft gets 
written so that it is available when unknown-rrs or the new DNSSEC documents
(whichever comes first) are ready to be approved by the IESG.

You seem to say that unknown-rrs is about the cases where the RDATA format
is unknown. Thus the fact that the RR type code is unknown is not
the central part of the draft; both unknown RRs and unknown classes can result
in an unknown RDATA format.

If that's true, then perhaps this should be more clear in introductory
material in the document and not just be mentioned in passing down in the
document.

I would like to avoid delaying the unknown-rrs draft and the new
DNSSEC documents by introducing a dependency on a new draft.  Adding
the text "according to the DNS rules for character comparisons" as
Robert Elz suggested and publishing the case insensitivity
clarifications separately should be sufficient.

There may be some confusion regarding the definition of an "RR type"
(as opposed to a "type code").  For example, consider "IN A" and
"CH A": are they two distinct RR types, or one RR type with two class
specific RDATA formats?

The draft uses the former definition, which is consistent with
existing RFCs that define class specific RR types - for example,
RFC2874 claims to define the A6 RR type which specific to the IN
class, not to define the class IN RDATA format for the A6 type.

The following is based on some observations at the DS workshop
at ISI/East. The issue is: what should DS aware authorative servers
return/do in different cases, currently the draft under-specifies what
the responses in certain cases.

The under-specification affects servers that are authorative for the
child and the query is for DS record at apex.
Here are the different cases that need to be considered by the DS document,
server is:
1. Authorative: for both parent and child
   Recursion:   <does not matter>
   RD bit:      <does not matter>
   Answer:      if DS exists in parent
                   it is returned with AA bit set.
                if no DS in parent
                   Rcode= NOERROR
                   Answer section: <empty>
                   Authority section:  SOA
                                       NXT if AD bit is set in query

2. Authorative: child only
   Recursion:   Not allowed
   RD bit:      <does not matter>
   Answer:      <needs specification>

3. Authorative: child only
   Recursion:   Allowed
   RD bit:      not set
   Answer:      <needs specification (same as in #2?)>

4. Authorative: child only
   Recursion:   Allowed
   RD bit:      SET
   Answer:      if answer in cache
                  return it without AA bit
                else
                  perform recursion

At least one of the authorative servers used at the workshop returned
a referral to a zone above the QNAME. This caused some common
resolvers to mark the server as LAME.  If all the servers for the zone
have this behavior the zone can be made to disappear.

DS is the first real record that can only exist at the parent thus
this issue has never been explored.

In the early years of DS deployment non DS aware resolvers/caches will
blindly send DS queries to the child servers, thus is it important
that the answer returned have no negative implications for future
queries for records from the child zone.

At the DS workshop we performed a test of number of possibilities and
tested them against number a available DNS cache programs:
       Bind-4.9.9
       Bind-8.3.3
       Bind-9.2.2rc2
       Bind-9.3-<snapshot)
       Djbdns-1.0.5 DNScache program
       Vendor X, Unreleased Cache software.
       Windows 2K server (not sure version)

Following is a list of of the the possible answers that where tested
from a DS capable server.

Test name    AA     RCODE       Returned data
Noauth.      off    NOTAUTH     ans:  empty
                                auth: empty
referdown    on     NOERROR     ans:  empty
                                auth: NS for referdown

Noanswer     on     NOERROR     ans:  empty
                                auth: empty

refused      off    REFUSED     ans:  empty
                                auth: empty

Nodata       on     NOERROR     ans:  empty
                                auth: SOA

Note: Nodata is identical to what some existing servers return.

Each test was had 2 authorative servers with 3 different setups
     DS     two modified servers
     Mixed  one modified server, one Bind-9.2.1 server
     Not    two Bind-9.2.1 servers.
Each authorative server had recursion disabled.

The tests where run on a local network with no outside connectivity,
with a local root server.
The tests needed 3 runs to eliminate all setup errors
Each test + setup was given a unique name
     <setup>.<test>.

The DS capable server was a specialized server hacked up in about
1 hour by Brian Wellington using DNSjava, that returned different
answers depending on the right most label in the query name.

Test procedure:
     start root server
     start authorative servers
     start caches
     for each cache
         for each test
             for each setup
                   dig @cache  <setup>.<test> ns
                   dig @cache  <setup>.<test> ds
                   dig @cache  findme.<setup>.<test> txt
             end
          end
     end

If findme.<setup>.<test> was not found then that return code/value
from the DS server will have bad effect during DS transition.

OK. Let's try that.

Got it.

I think I believe all of the above.

I don't think I believe this one, although I could of course be wrong.

If it's a separate namespace, it's a separate namespace.  The fact
that a name in one might happen to look like a name in the other is
not in itself a reason to forbid it.

The real question underlying all of this, however, is how these names
are going to be used.  In particular, how applications are going to
deal with the general problem of having multiple discrete namespaces,
most particularly applications that were not designed to support such
a thing.  Solve that, and the question of whether there's a strong
reason to restrict the syntax of LLMNR names will probably be obvious.

Once upon a time (back when dinosaurs still roamed the machine rooms
in mighty herds) I used a mailsystem on which a fully-specified
address in the MUA looked like

  sra@xx.lcs.mit.edu.#Chaos
  sra@xx.lcs.mit.edu.#Internet

while saying just

  sra@xx.lcs.mit.edu

was an invitation to the MUA to pick whichever naming realm it felt
good about today.  The mail software of course stripped the .#whatever
tag off the end before handing the message off to the MTA, so this was
strictly a user interface issue, not a protocol issue.

I'm not suggesting reviving that particular user interface or
notation, just pointing out that this is not the first time that this
problem has arisen, and that there's more than one way to attack this
kind of problem.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Limiting the Scope of the KEY Resource Record out
	Author(s)	: D. Massey, S. Rose
	Filename	: draft-ietf-dnsext-restrict-key-for-dnssec-04.txt
	Pages		: 15
	Date		: 2002-9-11
	
This document limits the Domain Name System KEY resource record to
only keys used by the Domain Name System Security Extensions
(DNSSEC).  The original KEY resource record used sub-typing to store
both DNSSEC keys and arbitrary application keys.  Storing both DNSSEC
and application keys with the same record type is a mistake.  This
document removes application keys from the KEY record by redefining
the Protocol Octet field in the KEY Resource Record Data.  As a
result of removing application keys, all but one of the flags in the
KEY record become unnecessary and are redefined.  Three existing
application key sub-types are changed to reserved, but the format of
the KEY record is not changed.  This document updates RFC 2535.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: DNS Extensions to support IP version 6
	Author(s)	: S. Thomson, C. Huitema
	Filename	: draft-ietf-dnsext-rfc1886bis-00.txt
	Pages		: 7
	Date		: 2002-9-11
	
This document defines the changes that need to be made to the Domain
Name System to support hosts running IP version 6 (IPv6).  The
changes include a new resource record type to store an IPv6 address,
a new domain to support lookups based on an IPv6 address, and updated
definitions of existing query types that return Internet addresses as
part of additional section processing.  The extensions are designed
to be compatible with existing applications and, in particular, DNS
implementations themselves.
This document updates RFC 1886 [5]. Changes mainly consist in 
replacing the IP6.INT domain by IP6.ARPA as defined in RFC 3152 [6].

There is one implementation of dynamic update (snapshot of a future 
BIND) that allows a dynamically updated zone to be frozen - temporary 
suspension of dynamicity to allow of manual changes to a zone.  It's 
a cool feature...

When a zone is frozen, the returned status code is REFUSED, as per 
section 2.2 of RFC 2136.  The implementation is faithful to this, but 
I wonder if defining a different status code such as "FROZEN" or 
"NOTDYN" is better.

The rationale for this is that might be good to tell the updater that 
the refusal is temporary as opposed to a violation of policy.  There 
has been talk of using dynamic update in situations where direct 
communications between the updater and the admin may be difficult 
(which is why dynamic updates are in use).

Is there any change in desired client retry behavior for REFUSED vs
your proposed FROZEN?  I'm thinking mostly of the embedded/automatic
case here..

Almost, you should just give out the referral (NS) and the proof that the
name is insecure (a's NXT and SIG NXT).

The problem is that when a query falls in an unsigned interval (yes, I
know, delegations only) there may exist an unsigned delegation for QNAME
eventhough there exist a signed wildcard.

Whenever a query hits an unsigned interval, it is useless to proof of
existing or non-existing wildcards.

As I understand it, REFUSED is a "permanent" error, i.e. the same
nameserver instance will continue to return REFUSED for the same request
unless it is reconfigured, whereas this new rcode would indicate a
temporary error that may succeed on a subsequent request without any
reconfiguration of the server. Client implementations should be encouraged
to use a sensible retry strategy, of course, in order to avoid hammering
the server.

I would prefer that such an rcode be general in nature, however, and not
limited to the Dynamic Update case. There might be situations where it
would be useful to temporarily "freeze" ordinary queries, zone transfers,
etc.

I think you're reading more into the spec than is there.  While I've
never heard of anyone bothering to do so, I don't think there's
anything in the spec that'd rule out a name server implementation that

My guess is that updaters would know what the policy is, so when the got a
REFUSED back, they know it is frozen, since they should be able to update
the zone normally.

But I can see the proposed RCODE if the process is automated (DHCP/DNS
interaction).  But there should be some sort of client retry rule of thumb
to prevent server pounding as hundreds of new hosts try to update the IETF
reverse DNS server with their name and newly allocated IP address (for
example).   In this case - is it necessarily bad that the client may never
decide to try again and send another update request?

I think that's overstating the case. The principle of least surprise should
always apply so that the number of possible reasons for the refusal be
limited to perfectly reasonable cases.

I'm not so sure that is true even when the client is human (run).  If 
the client is a regsitrar and the server is being run by a registry, 
the coupling of updater to admin may be very loose - esp. 
organization-wise.

The problem is whether the client has the information to make the 
decision.  E.g., a person may try an update and see a failure. 
Depending on a lot of factors, the person might be correct to retry 
in an hour or might be correct to not try that query again.  One 
factor just might be whether the person is told that "your key might 
be authorized to make this change, but I'm not listening now" or 
"your key is not authorized to make that change."  (Just an example 
scenario.)

Okay - that example clears things up for me.  My only worry is poorly
written implementations that interpret this new "FROZEN" or whatever,
response and keep hammering away at the server until they get a more
positive response.  Of course this can happen already when REFUSED is
returned...

If I'm thinking correctly about this, the new interpretation of the rcodes
would be:
refused - means that the server will never accept an update from the sender
until some misconfiguration is correct, or policy stuff.

frozen(whatever) - means that the sender could normally make the update, but
the server has been frozen by an admin for some time period.  Try again
later and it might suceed.

correct?

I completely agree that we need some RCODE that we agree to interpret
as "permanently refused" where "permanently" may or may not mean
"forever" but definitely does mean "do not retry!".  I have no real
problem with concluding that the existing REFUSED RCODE should be
interpreted that way, assuming that (a) nobody knows of an existing
implementation that this would break and (b) this gets written up.

While I see some potential value in some kind of "refused temporarily"
RCODE per Ed's scenario, I am leery of heading down that path unless
we can provide some guidance on a sane retry strategy.  The catch is
that it's hard to picture a strategy that would be right for all
circumstances, at best one could invent one that might be harmless.

There is of course the alternative of adding a new field to the OPT
psuedo-RR that would specify a minimum interval after which it would
be ok for the client to retry.  If we took that approach, REFUSED
without that field present would mean "permanently refused", while
presence of that field would mean "refused for now, but if you try
again in N seconds you wouldn't be pestering me and it might work".

  | There is of course the alternative of adding a new field to the OPT
  | psuedo-RR that would specify a minimum interval after which it would
  | be ok for the client to retry.

This is an excellent idea - except that we should generalize it.

That is, what we want here, is for the client to cache the REFUSED for
some period of time, and then try again.

This is exactly what we want when we send other errors - even NXDOMAIN,
we want the client to cache the value for some time, and then it can try
again.

Currently, we're using the SOA record, for that purpose, but that's truly
sub-optimal, and totally inapplicable for anything other than NXDOMAIN.

So, yes, please let's add a "error cache TTL" field, define 0 as "not
specified here, do what you would have otherwise done" (for backward
compatibility), "-1" (or ~0 if you prefer) as "don't cache this, try again
next time you need to know", and any other value as the TTL that the client
can use to cache this particular error, before trying again.

I don't think we need "permanent" - any long value is going to exceed the
client's patience anyway (clients all set upper bounds on any such information
in any case, and discard it, no-one believes in permanent errors).

For NXDOMAIN, the SOA record will keep being added, as the authority for
the denial, and old clients can keep on using it as the source of the
cache TTL (with the same kind of sanity upper bound as currently used).

But with this, there'd be an explicit TTL on all errors (it should most
likely include "no error no data" as well).

To allow this to need fewer bits, it could be defined as being in multiple
second units.   I think a range of up to 1 day is enough, caching errors
longer than that is unlikely to be useful (or believed).   That's 86400
seconds.   Make the field count in 2 second units, and a 16 bit field would
be enough for this. (2^16 * 2 = 128K - a day and a half approx).

No, mangling the names is a poor way to indicate different name spaces.

And that's for much the same reasons that my suggestion to stick the

itself (as part of the API) was rejected (and I agree now, rightly so).

I think we need to distinguish between server errors and data errors.
RCODE=3 is a property of the zone, RCODE=5 is a server error.

Server errors seem a good match for an OPT psuedo-RR extension, but I
don't think an OPT extension is suitable for errors that reflect
properties of the zone.

Yeah this would be useful supplemental information. A few comments.

One other benefit to the use of such a field is that it makes per-server
tracking more feasible. The requester will know that the server supports
the reporting feature but not the requested extension (or the operation),
which is more granular information than can be obtained without the field.

However, it would still be inadequate for corner cases. Each extension
would still have to define their own fallback processing and recovery
mechanisms, and (more importantly) the specific errors which trigger the
different fallback strategies necessary for the extension at hand. This
means some kind of default error-cache document would still need to be
provided which defined default conditions and which delegated the
interpretation and recovery actions to each extension.

Also, not all extensions and errors will be related to EDNS extensions
(DDNS errors, for example). Also, the presence of this information may
have the potential to trigger subsequent errors during requester
processing. For these reasons, the generalized caching document would need
to treat any EDNS-specific error-TTL field as supplemental, not as core.

Also, there are some obscure errors which can show up in weird situations
which would not be served by this field. Some servers silently discard
errors rather than reporting them, for example. While this can be argued
as correct or incorrect forever, it is an example of an error which may
need to be trapped and cached by some extension, but with no information
being made available to the requester.

For all of these reasons, it would be useful as supplemental information
but it would not BY ITSELF be sufficient.

As to Robert's suggested values above, I would think that omitting the
field would be sufficient for "use the default interpretation" while 0
would be appropriate for "don't cache this error" This is especially true
since there are several potential scenarios where the data will be
ommitted anyway (included unextended servers, obviously).

LLMNR names are not DNS names. They are not authoritative for the same
namespaces, and they shouldn't be mixed.

How do you already multiplex DNS/NetBIOS/NIS/etc under a single API? Why
should this be different?

	i don't quite parse it.  are you against the use of local.arpa, or
	are you for the use of local.arpa?
	DNS and NIS names (and /etc/hosts) are accessed via single API
	(gethostby*, getaddrinfo/getnameinfo), so it makes sense to use
	the same API.

I would think [0] that if a signed positive answer is given, there is 
no reason to show that there was potentially a wildcard (signed or 
unsigned) available.  If there exists an unsigned positive answer, 
*is* there a need to prove that there is no wildcard?  I guess so, 
but this is getting sticky.

[0] Apologies - I am reviewing the thread while flying back from 
RIPE, so the reply is delayed and possibly confused.

That sounds like what I had in mind.

For a manual (interactive) client, I think that the difference 
between the two would be to print "permanent error" for a REFUSED, 
and "temporary error" for a FROZEN (or SUSPENDED).  For an automated 
client, I probably wouldn't recommend different treatments - so as to 
prevent overly persistent broken implementations.  (Perhaps the log 
message is different in the two cases, as suggested for the manual 
client.)

Question is: does an signed wildcard trump an unsigned delegation name?

NXT's are already supposed to only be signed by the zone key.  Isn't 
that sufficient to identify the authority - or is there something 
else needed out of the SOA RR RDATA?

No, I don't think that is the question.

The signer of the zone has give proof that there exist no signed material
in an interval. All bets are off if you query for a record that is not
signed [1]. If the signer of the zone wants to use signed wildcards, she
should know that they can be used to spoof within unsigned intervals.

[1] Note that the response has a signed statement that the interval is not
    secure.

Proof of wildcards in a response with positive unsigned referals leads to
nothing more than ambiguity.

Note that the only "unsigned positive response" you could have is an
NS record.  I didn't think that wildcard NS records were allowed?

What it DOES mean is that you need to send twice as much data to prove
an NXDOMAIN.  It is not sufficient to just show the NXT for the
request, but you must also show the NXT for the wildcard.

I think it should - wildcards can be signed, and considered authoritative in
a zone.  Since delegations aren't, it could be spoof (but hopefully detected
later).

A resolver can verify a signed wildcard, but not a delegation.

What do you mean?  You cannot have a "*.example IN NS ..." record.
The fact that you have a signed "*.example IN MX ..." record has
nothing to do with the fact that you've got an unsigned "foo.example
IN NS .." record.

How would this trumping even happen?  The RTYPEs are different.

You treat "authoritative" and "signed" as equal, while one relates to
server and the other to source.

Delegations can only be spoofed if they are not signed. That is a
conscious descision a signer makes.

Please inform me what a resolver should do with the ambiguity of both an
unsigned referral and a signed wildcard in a response.

Spoofing can go both ways, one can spoof a unsigned referral with a signed
wildcard, or a signed wildcard with an unsigned referral. Simply proofing
the existence of a signed wildcard makes this ambiguity not go away. It is
about the descision a resolver has to make: follow an unsigned referral or
stick with the signed wildcard.

if there's enough info in the signature to be able to tell what other cached
data you should preexpire, then no.  however, i don't think that's the case;
all you can know, afaik, is that the records you're holding were signed less
recently than the records you're now receiving.

The problem is that, when considering wildcards, "interval" is not 
singular but plural.  E.g., there must be proof that there exists no 
signed material in each interval that a name might fit.

I don't mean to imply that there is a wildcarded NS.  E.g.,:

In my zone I have:

*          900 IN TXT  "This is a wildcard match"
                   SIG  TXT
            900 IN A    10.10.10.10
                   SIG  A
            900 IN MX   10 host
                   SIG  MX
            900 IN NXT  alpha TXT A MX SIG NXT
and

alpha      900 IN NS   nameserver
                   SIG  NS
            900 IN NXT  beta NS SIG NXT(or not)
                   SIG  NXT
alpha1     900 IN NS   nameserver
alpha2     900 IN NS   nameserver
beta       900 IN NS   nameserver
                   SIG  NS
            900 IN NXT  gamma NS SIG NXT(or not)
                   SIG  NXT
...

If I ask for (alpha3 A) I get the wildcard.  If I ask for (alpha2 NS) 
I get the unsigned alpha2 NS.  If I ask for (alpha NS) I get the 
signed alpha NS.  If I ask for (alpha3 NS) I get no such data per the 
wildcard.

The issue here is that it is easy to spoof away the signed wildcard 
with opt-in.  Let's say I do ask for alpha3 A.  Since there's an 
opt-in-ized NXT saying that alpha3 is not explicitly signed in the 
zone, all an attacker needs to do is replay this before the answer 
with the signed * match returns - or - modify a cache to strip away 
the *-synthesized records from an answer.

At first I was surprised by Scott saying that the * trumps opted-out 
data, but now I agree with him.  If you don't assume that there is a 
signed * name in the zone, then it can be spoofed away.

So, if there is an applicable * - then it would hide all the 
unsecured matched "behind it" which is counter-intuitive to the 
algorithm in rfc1034/s4.3.3.

>What it DOES mean is that you need to send twice as much data to prove

To match an opted-out name (unsecured) you have to prove it isn't 
secured, and that there isn't a potential wildcard, the latter may 
require multiple NXT's.

Also - does the presence of an opted-out name impact the scope of a 
wildcard's matches?

No, it's singular because the wildcard is applied to each request
individually.  So you need to show proof-of-nonexistence in the
query-interval on each query.  This is a seperable problem, as queries
are independent.

As I said, an answer of NXDOMAIN is incomplete without _TWO_ signed
NXT records, so a client would know they were being attacked if they
only received one.  Similarly, an attacker could not add an 'A' record
to this response, because opt-in only allows unsecured delegations.

Right, but there _are_ no unsecured matches because opt-in only allows
unsecured NS, and you cannot have an NS wildcard.

This is correct, but only in the case where you have a multi-layer
zone.

It doesn't.  It is no worse than a non-opted-out name.

One could envision new flags (such as AI_LLMNR) for lookups in the local
name space.

That's the problem.  It's getting harder and harder to tell what 
should be done.

It's clear that a reply should have, barring EDNS1's multiple query 
proposal, 0 or 1 answering RRsets.  (0 means no data/name found.) 
The rest of the answer should be there to support the answer chosen.

The problem is how do you protect answers that should have been 
synthesized from a signed wildcard answer (which does not have to be 
a delegation) from being spoofed away by OPT-IN modified NXT records 
and falsified answers?

The trumping is whether the algorithm for looking up replies first 
checks the signed data only (hence finds the wildcard) or looks 
through all the data.

	that is certainly one possibility, but why do we need it when we don't

The algorithm at the server or at a cache?  An authoritative server
still looks at the QNAME first.  If it finds an entry for the QTYPE,
it uses it.  It not, it checks the wildcard.

The fact that opt-in is in use doesn't change this.  Remember: only NS
records can live within an opt-in interval.  This means that the
potential states you have are:

1) signed RDATA at the QNAME and signed wildcard
        RDATA wins
2) no RDATA at QNAME and signed wildcard
        wildcard wins, but must provide the QNAME NXT
3) no RDATA and no wildcard
        NXDOMAIN; must provide both (all?) NXTs

The fact that the NXT is opt-in or not does not matter, because the only
record that can live in an opt-int interval is an NS, and you cannot have
wildcard NS.  If the QTYPE is NS, then you can ignore wildcards completely.

I'm stumbling over your words now.

I do understand the problem. The problem is _not_ what should be in a
response, the problem is what a resolver should do with the ambiguity:
Follow unsigned delegation, or assume its a spoof, and go with the signed
wildcard.

Yes, with opt-in as is, you could simply spoof away signed wildcards with
unsecure delegations, and simply spoof away unsecure delegations with
secure wildcards.

How'bout we state in the Opt-In draft that, when using DNSSEC, having both
opt-in and wildcards are illegal.

When you follow the wildcard algorithm, you need to search through 
different intervals.  First the explicit one followed by all 
intervals that might hold a wildcard.

Which two NXT's would be sent to prove that alpha3 A does not exist? 
(Would it be that alpha3 is not a signed name and there is no signed 
wildcard?)

Remember that wildcards match names, not names&types.  If the 
wildcard has an A record and no NS record, all queries for matching 
names and (QTYPE=)NS get a NODATA response because the name matched.

Okay, I see that, because an opted out name is a zone cut.  (But what 
do you mean by "worse?")

*.zone        TXT "matches names"
               SIG TXT
...
unsec.zone    NS
...

querying for anything below unsec.zone would result in a referral 
answer.  I guess this cements the rationale to diallow non-zone cuts 
in the opted-out portion of a zone.

Ahh, I see -- to collect multiple NXT records in the case of a
multi-level zone.  I keep on assuming zones with single levels.
My appologies.

That's wrong - NODATA @ QNAME wins...once the name matches, I stop searching.

That should be no explicit QNAME and no wildcard

I have never said that there was a wild card NS.  A wild card with 
any (legal) RRset is sufficient to cause heartburn burn because of 
the way wild cards are processed.

Not quite.  The signed wild card wouldn't be synthesized to the 
answer, but there is a need to prove it doesn't exist in this case. 
In other words, you have to prove that the answer has to have come 
from the unsecured portion of the zone before the consumer can rely 
on it.  This is getting pretty darned confusing.

That's my issue.

No.  That's the absolute wrong approach.  I don't know where to start 
to back that up - there are too many reasons.  Reducing the problem 
to meet a solution is suboptimal.

Yes.  Two two NXTs are:
        1) prove the alpha3 A does not exist
        2) prove there is no matching wildcard

HUH?  If I make a query for foo TXT I could get an MX response because
there is a * MX record?  Can you show me where in the RFCs that is
true?

By "no worse" I mean "no different"...

The only issue is the one that Roy pointed out..  You could have an
unsigned NS and a signed "* A" and you need to figure out which one to
believe.

Neither are wildcard CNAMEs but you get roasted if you don't offer them.

I agree, but I would just call it a pragmatic solution, since it works.

As I said, if (according to your example) you ask for foo TXT, you do 
not follow the wild card because foo is a name in the zone.  BIND 
9.3.3. does this.  The algorithm followed is in RFC 1034, 4.3.2, in 
particular, step 3 a.

Here's much more detail on my test.  Note that the * has an MX, and 
beached-whale does explicitly exist without an MX.  Hence, asking for 
beached-whale's MX results in no data:

Note that applications try the various naming services until it finds
a match (using some locally-defined ordering).  The fact that there
may be name overlaps is irrelevant.  If I'm searching NIS before DNS
and there is a NIS-MAP that provides a response for host.foo.com, my
application will use that response rather than searching DNS.

I don't see why LLMNR should behave any differently.

while deviating from the thread a bit, may I ask you for a reference which
supports either of these statements? Maybe there's plenty of work to be done
to make '*'-NS-RRs actually work correctly as delegations (you'd have to
generate the SOA RRs etc. and multi level '*' expansions will turn out to
be hard), and maybe they don't make sense at all, but I wonder why they should
be "not legal", i.e. not conforming to the DNS spec.

And since '*'-PTR-RRs and '*'-A-RRs have been in use, what's so special about
'*'-CNAME-RRs?

-Peter

C'mon, folks.  We're already seven years into this.  Let's cut the things
that don't work and run with what's left.  I posted my analysis of various
uses for wildcards and showed why, imho, none of them intersect with a strong
need for DNSSEC.  I'm here today renewing my proposal:

	Signed zones shall not include RR's with wildcard names.

I agree with this. I hear what Olafur is saying about supporting wildcards
but that can be done by synthesizing the response based off a wildcard 
defined in a configuration file.

This will, I'm told by folks who run large zones (other than .COM), will
result in DNSSEC not being deployed in those zones.  Doesn't seem to be an
optimal approach if we want DNSSEC deployed.

A CNAME is not a normal RR and requires special attention. See the
'Algorithm' in RFC1034 and how it does not mention checking for wildcard
CNAMEs. 

It may be interesting to document the actual algorithm used by PowerDNS and
BIND. PowerDNS internally does a * ANY lookup when it hits the 'check for a
wildcard' stage and retargets if the ANY record turned up a CNAME. This step
is not present in RFC1034.

Could you phrase their concerns ? Or do you know if there are alternatives
to their wildcard needs ?

I'm looking for the case where wildcards are vital, and for which there is
no alternative present. I can't think of any.

i either disagree or disbelieve, depending.

imho, wildcards will not change dnssec's deployment curve even a little bit.

Roy--
I agree that I can't think of any case where there is no
alternative available.  However, from what little I know there
are some folks who run very large numbers of "small" zones,
and a few folks who run small numbers of "medium large" zones,
who currently do use wildcards.  The existence of an alternative
to wildcards does not mean that the alternative will be used,
unless those folks can in some way be convinced that wildcards
are broken and must in fact be fixed.  

Since I don't see such convincing happening (it hasn't to date),
if we tell them that they can't sign a zone with wildcards then
they're quite likely to reply, "Okay we won't sign it."  Then
again, many of those folks are unlikely to sign those zones in
the next five years regardless (IMHO), so I'm not sure we should
let them tie things in knots.

Perhaps David has a more complete and concrete answer.

Okay, I can imagine its annoying. But I don't think "annoying" is a strong
case for keeping wildcards in DNSSEC.

No, who cares what you or I can't think of. I just want to assess
compelling and real arguments for keeping wildcards in DNSSEC ("annoying"
is not one of them), since I don't have any right now.

yes, it does.  "design" is a process involving both creativity and tradeoffs.
in order to decide whether our seven year dnssec effort should be turned into
an eight or nine year dnssec effort, we need to know exactly how important
wildcards are and to whom.

several of us here have asserted that there are workarounds for all common
cases and that we can cut wildcards out of the dnssec specification with no
actual loss of functionality.  one of us has even enumerated the common cases.

the onus is now on the other side of the argument.  if there's a common case
we've missed, or an uncommon case that's vital, then enumerate it.  if our
analysis of the common cases was faulty, then correct us.  but don't just
say "if we don't have wildcards, dnssec is not worth doing" because the
argument has since moved to more detailed ground where actual facts are
going to be required to keep it from ending in the "no wildcards in dnssec"
mode.

for the case i think you're referring to, an apex DNAME is a better
solution in any case.  i volunteer to edit an i-d on the subject of
"alternatives to wildcarding" if you (and everyone else here) will
send me detailed cases to study.

the quality (including simplicity if any) of the specification, and
its timeliness, and the availability of good tools, are all going to
have a much greater impact on the deployment curve than wildcarding.

I'm not saying wildcards should be killed. I'm convinced that wildcard
support makes the system more complex, but not impossible. I'm simply
assessing arguments for and against it.

Hmmm.

Way back in a previous life when I was trying to encourage people to use
DNSSEC and I mentioned BIND didn't support signing zones with wildcards in
them, the vast majority of responses were along the lines of "too much of a
hassle to redo the way we're doing business, particularly as we haven't seen
any attacks that DNSSEC would have helped against, so I guess we won't be
signing our zones".

Perhaps times have changed and the folks who host zones with wildcards in
them might consider taking the onus upon themselves to argue as you assert
they must.  

Or perhaps not.  Particularly given those folks are not likely to found on
namedroppers.

Seems to me if you want to keep DNSSEC from ever getting deployed, then
creating yet another barrier to entry by removing wildcards is a step in the
right direction.

If I'm a major website that puts different content under different
DNS names, it sure would be nice to catch misspellings and try to
redirect them to an appropriate page without turning an 8 name zone
into a 500 name zone.  Cuts down on the NXT record generation, for
one thing.

I would, however, like to be able to secure the records in this zone,
so that my server addresses can't be spoofed.

How about this:
"A signed zone with a signed wildcard SHOULD NOT have any unsecured
labels."

That eliminates any funny business.  You're not going to put a *
record in .com anyway.  I thought that partially secured zones were
mostly a "only use this if you have a real reason to" thing anyway.

that turned out to be a good thing, too.  those folks might've ended up using
pre-DS, or using RSA keys, or any of the other things that dnsext/dnssec has
sent to the IESG even though we clearly weren't done baking them yet.

but more fundamentally, i dispute that lack of wildcarding has ever stopped
anyone, even one user, from signing a zone that they would otherwise have
signed.  and also, a continued lack of wildcarding will not stop anyone from
signing a zone that they otherwise want to sign.  whether they otherwise
want to sign or not is the important question, and that will have to do with
factors like a stable specification, decent tools, useful documentation, and
a sense that other people are actually using this stuff.

i think name service providers (such as nominum, ultradns, and lots of others)
have employees on this list who know what their customers are using DNS for,
and that this is a fine place to do "feature research" of this kind.  but if
you know of another place, please suggest it.

in december, in salt lake city, the DS plan was hatched and campaigned for,
and my support for it (as well as for opt-in) was contingent on a quick close.
that hasn't happened.  best case, it'll be december -- a full year later --
before we're done arguing about how to prove the unknown (sign wildcards) and
are ready to ask IESG for a last call on some form of dnssec, with or without
opt-in but probably with DS.

unless someone comes forward and says "here is a case of wildcard usage for
which there is no workaround, and here's why the kind of zone or user who
needs it is critical to the success of a dnssec rollout" then there is just
no basis for continuing the argument.

	Well gatewaying of ACSNet mail (*.oz.au) would have been
	such a case.  No node in ACSNet knew all the other nodes
	so it was impossible to enumerate the space.  However not
	being able to spoof the wild card MX's would have prevented
	mail being intercepted.

	To mail to foo.bar.xxx.oz.au you only needed to know how to
	reach a machine in xxx.oz.au.  You had to ensure that one of
	you machines was visible but not all of your machines.

  | Neither are wildcard CNAMEs but you get roasted if you don't offer them.

From exactly where do people dream up these restrictions?

There's absolutely nothing wrong with a wildcard CNAME, nor is there
any reason for there to be.   Having one would mean that you couldn't
have any other wildcard RR in the zone, because the owner of a CNAME
can't have any other data, but a wildcard CNAME is a perfectly sensible
thing to have (its the cheap way to direct all (not otherwise defined)
sub-domains of a domain to the same target, for all uses).

Nor is there anything illegal about a wildcard NS.    Actually making it
work is tricky (which might be an understatement) - that is, in making
sure the servers named actually implement the zone in question, but there's
nothing illegal as such about delegations to servers that have never head of
the zone, that (lame delegations) - happens all the time - and one could
construct a server that would generate a zone on the fly when queried about
it - provided the rules by which that was done were consistent between
all servers for a zone, that would make wildcard NS records perfectly
feasible (if most likely not very useful).

The only RR type that cannot possibly be matched by a wildcard, is SOA.
(Or at least the only one in 1034/5 vintage DNS, what happens to the
dnssec RR's, and the even odder ones like OPT aren't important here).

That's because wildcards never apply to names that are known to exist,
whereas the only place SOA is permitted is at the head of a zone, which
by definition is known to exist.

Any of the rest of the "normal" RRs can be attached to a wildcard however.

The enum WG is well aware that the use of wildcard NAPTR RRs are A Bad
Thing. They seriously advice against it, and advice to simply enumerate
every number that is in the repository of the zone.

I find this highly unlikely.

An NS record is not authoritative in a parent zone, i.e. they point
outside the zone (they are authoritative elsewhere). Wildcards are
_within_ a zone, (they are within the authoritative part). I quote:

   The owner name of the wildcard RRs is of the form "*.<anydomain>",
   where <anydomain> is any domain name. <anydomain> should not contain
   other * labels, and should be in the authoritative data of the zone.

   Wildcard RRs do not apply:

      - When the query is in another zone.  That is, delegation cancels
        the wildcard defaults.

Sure, this is all theoretical, and you could hack up a server which allows
you to do this. That does not make it legal.

  | 	that is certainly one possibility, but why do we need it when we don't

We don't really.   We also don't need .local.arpa (or .local or whatever)
just as we don't have .nis.arpa or .nis (or whatever) (nor do we have a
hosts.arpa or a .hosts or anything else for any other kind of hostname
lookup that might exist).

We already have disjointed namespaces, all considered equal, where a
name lookup gets satisfied by one (seemingly at random, but actually as
configured for the node's lookup order).   Adding one more name lookup
mechanism changes nothing.   Most nodes are going to do DNS lookups first
(or attempt them), and then if there is no DNS server, or it fails, fall
back to whatever lookup mechanism suits (some sites prefer to insert some
locally configured names ahead of the DNS - I doubt doing that for
a local multicast lookup would ever make sense).

As far as whether wild cards stay or go, I think it is up to the 
users of DNS to determine, not the protocol designers.  Whether they 
are a pain or not, if the use of wild cards is deemed necessary, it 
is up to the engineers to answer the requirement.

Pre-BIND 8, when a small group of us were struggling to write the 
first DNSSEC code we came upon a feature that made validating answers 
problematic.  Round robining of answers was a stumbling block - 
because it meant having to reorder the RR's for validation.  There 
was an internal proposal then to make users of DNSSEC turn off round 
robining so that the DNSSEC code wouldn't have to copy and sort 
before validating.  Eventually, it was determined that round robining 
is a requirement and DNSSEC will just have to deal with it.  I think 
the same applies to wild cards.

If opt-in is to be adopted, it too will have to deal with wild cards. 
If there's a choice between wild cards and opt-in, I'd have to lean 
in favor of wild cards as I see that wild cards as a requirement. 
Yes, some feel that opt-in is a requirement for deployment in large 
zones.  Although I'm pressing for DNSSEC to succeed, if in doing so 
it causes harm to the legacy of DNS, perhaps DNSSEC is better off not 
being deployed.

(If that's the case, we better start on DNS2010.)

Keep in mind that the issues being bickered about here are unusual 
cases.  Most zones are one label deep.  Most uses of wild cards are 
simplistic.  Most zones don't even use wild cards.  Will any zone 
that is a candidate for opt-in want to have a wild card?  But 
complicated uses do exist.  What we need to keep in mind is that the 
solution we generate needs to work best for the majority of cases and 
work in some fashion for all cases.

I personally fail to see the difficulty caused by wild cards, 
especially for DNSSEC.  They are tedious perhaps, but the algorithms 
to process them are deterministic, decidable, and will terminate. 
With opt-in, I think there's a choice to be made, whether an unsigned 
(opted-out) domain name is matched before a signed wild card.  If we 
choose one of the options, and no other "corner cases" are found, we 
should be again in the situation of a decidable algorithm that 
perhaps takes time - but will terminate.

(Worried about amplification as a springboard for a DOS?  I don't 
have an answer to that without looking at the algorithm and the 
potential for triggering it.)

Remember that we can imagine really weird uses of wild cards, CNAMEs, 
DNSSEC, etc., but for the most part these engineer-dreamed scenarios 
do not occur in the wild.  Cover the odd-ball cases, but let's just 
optimize on the cases that are actually used in nature.

  | I think we need to distinguish between server errors and data errors.
  | RCODE=3 is a property of the zone, RCODE=5 is a server error.

I think that's too fine a hair to cut.  Certainly if you get a 3
from any server, you should get it from all, hence there's no
point trying a different server, whereas that isn't true of 2, 4, or 5.

But I'm not sure that really matters.  The client (resolver) already
needs to know to treat the different errors differently, adding an
explicit TTL to the error response doesn't really change the nature
of anything.

It may seem that using the OPT RR, which at first glance, carries only
server specific information to carry information which is a property of
the zone instead would not be a good fit.   Except that it is already
specified to be able to carry information that is the property of the
zone - the extra bits of the error number (rcode) can be used to convey
either kind of error (as defined in the future).  So might the flag bits.

OPT is best thought of as just a part of the DNS header - and just as
the DNS header RCODE can carry server specific, and zone specific, error
codes, there's no reason why a error-ttl field in the OPT RR shouldn't
be able to hold either server specific, or zone specific, ttls.

  | I find this highly unlikely.

Yes, of all the possible RR types, wanting to wildcard NS is perhaps
the least likely.

  | An NS record is not authoritative in a parent zone, i.e. they point
  | outside the zone (they are authoritative elsewhere). Wildcards are
  | _within_ a zone, (they are within the authoritative part). I quote:

Yes, but ...

  |    The owner name of the wildcard RRs is of the form "*.<anydomain>",
  |    where <anydomain> is any domain name. <anydomain> should not contain
  |    other * labels, and should be in the authoritative data of the zone.

Note it is <anydomain> that has to be in the authoritative data for
the zone, not the foo.anydomain that is being looked up.   That restriction
has no relevance at all.

  |    Wildcard RRs do not apply:
  | 
  |       - When the query is in another zone.  That is, delegation cancels
  |         the wildcard defaults.

This one is more borderline, but I certainly can't convince myself that
it actually means that wildcard NS is illegal.   I'm not actually sure what
that one is for, especially if wildcard NS were illegal, as then the
delegation would create a "known" name, and it is clear that wildcards
never match known names, or their sub-domains, so if wildcard NS was
illegal, that rule wouldn't be needed at all.

The only situation that I can imagine where that restriction would apply,
would be if we had

	$ORIGIN example.com.
	* IN NS server.whatever.
	  IN NS other.thing.

and a lookup came for a.b.example.com.   Then the paragraph above would
indicate that the '*' there matches b.example.com, and that making a
delegation, cancels the wildcard defaults, so the correct response is a
referral to server.whatever and other.thing, rather than to return

	a.b.example.com. IN NS server.whatever. (etc).

as one would normally do if it were a wildcard MX, or A, or something.

I'm not about to fault any servers that don't implement wildcard NS records,
but I really don't think they're illegal according to the specs (just useless
for most practical purposes).

kre

ps: I really did go and re-check 1034 before I replied the first time...

pps: I have no direct opinion on the question of whether or not wildcards
should be declared incompatible with signed zones.   I do know that I
see no merit at all in the line of argument that goes "we cannot do X, as
person or group Y won't like it".   If you suspect that to be true, tell
Y about the proposal, and ask for reasoned responses to the namedroppers
list.   That way we get first hand responses, from the people it (perhaps)
actually matters to, rather than someone's perhaps misinformed opinion 
of what some 3rd party's needs are.   [Roy: this ps is not aimed at you!]

  | So you would be happy with a LLMNR lookup succeeding
  | for "www.ietf.org"?

Yes, of course, in fact, that might often be exactly what I'd want
to happen, any time it actually succeeded.

Note, that unless I'm insane (in which case you probably should ignore
this opinion), that won't even get a chance to succeed unless the DNS
isn't available at all.

If there's no DNS, and I'm expecting www.ietf.org to work, then I think
I would want it to...

And where that might be useful, is where I make a local mirror of the
IETF site, then if my net connection is missing, or similar, and the DNS
isn't working, I'd want to get to my local mirror, and being able to find
it using LLMNR (or something) sounds like a win to me.   That also has the
advantage that I use the real site when it is available, avoid possible
staleness with my slow update mirror (which is still better than nothing
if necessary).

Yes, there are security issues to be handled, but if we assume that we
start using dnssec sometime this century, then multicast lookups will likely
be distinguished as not being properly signed.

Sticking a funny domain on the end won't solve anything - I'd configure my
search list to include it anyway (so I can refer to "foo") and that means
that (unless I happen to do "www.ietf.org.") the resolver is eventually
likely to try www.ietf.org.local.arpa. as the lookup for me, and then it
would go find the multicast version anyway (a hacker would just be pretending
to be that, instead of www.oetf.org - the A record that comes back to my
browser works the same either way).

If we had to have a restriction, "names with no dots" would be the only
reasonable one - but I really believe that's unnecessarily limiting, for
no real gain that matters.

That is a different question than the one I chose to answer.
You seemed to initially be concerned that there wasn't an easy way to
add such support to the getaddrinfo/getnameinfo APIs, and hopefully
I managed to dispell that concern.

The reason I think AI_NIS (or AI_LDAP, etc) is that the intent is that they
all be managed with the intent of providing a consistent appearance.
So if a name exists in NIS and the same name exists in DNS, the intent
of the common adminstration is that those name refer to the same device.

This is very different than the LLMNR vs. DNS case, where the intent
is that nodes be able to create there own names in the LLMNR name space.

I believe that the ability to deploy in .com, .net and .org is 
a requirement.

Unless the protocol is fixed there is no way that DNSSEC should go 
to the IESG.

DNSSEC in its current form is BROKEN.

When security is on the line, it is reasonable for engineers to draw the
line at a feature which provides nothing of substance.

I would rather have 30% deployment of a DNSSEC which is simple enough to
actually be secure than 100% deployment of a DNSSEC which is too
complicated to evaluate.  (Not that I think wildcards would account for
a 70% swing.)

Something for the DNS cabal to ruminate on....
In the little testbed we are running, the following behaviour
popped up.  Feel free to interpret as you will.
	---------------------------------------------
From a testbed user:
---
Here are my observations:

Appearently the problem is in the recursive bind (i.e. mine). A tcpdump
shows that all the roots return the correct data, butt bind 9.2.1 seems
to get confused by the presence of a NXT and/or SIG Record and then
ignoring the NS-Records.

And it is not a problem of my dig, since the OS Resolver shows the same
behaviour.

So i will fetch a Snapshot of the bind release and then see if that
changes anything.
...

Hello,

So, my problem appears to be a bug when querying the Root with a bind
9.2.1 Recursive DNS Server.

I now upgraded to 9.3.0s20020722 and I get the proper answers:
---

	Does this indicate that the "flag-day" may have much 
	broader impact that one might have originally thought?

according to published reports, bind8 is the most popular dns implementation
now in use, followed by bind4, followed by microsoft.  the fact that an
interrim bind9 release didn't handle NXT RR's correctly is of very little
significance, since people who run bind9 at all are very susceptible to
upgrading it when they hear that a new release is available.

now, if you've got data concerning bad behaviour from bind8, bind4, or
microsoft, then we should be considering that in light of flag days et al.

I am not saying it has.  What I am saying is that removal of functionality
from the DNS that people use today is going to impede the deployment of
DNSSEC in the future.

It is not unknown.  There is at least one implementation that fully supports
wildcards in DNSSEC.

Looking at "wild cards vs. dnssec" it seems to me that the issue is 
that wild cards makes achieving the service of authenticated denial a 
bit harder than the non wild card case.  Wild cards do not complicate 
the security of explicitly-there data.

What I would like to know is how widely practiced is the use of 
multi-label depth wild cards?  If these are not that widely deployed, 
then using a clunky, non-scaleable solution to the issue is 
acceptable.  I'd like to see completeness of the security coverage, 
and if this means that multi-label depth wild cards suffer - so much 
more the incentive to limit their use.

I don't believe that we will come down to having to make a hard 
choice between wild cards and dnssec.  I fail to see how wild cards, 
even with the complexity of multi-label depth situations, create a 
situation that is undecidable.  I think that there may be ugly 
situations for the odd ball cases, but I think that odd ball cases 
are rare enough that they deserve to bite the bullet in this case.

As far as opt-in vs. wild cards, I don't know yet.  Is anyone 
prototyping a server that implements opt-in so that we can take shots 
at it?  I think that would do us a lot more good than continually 
haggling over words in mail and the specs.

that's off-topic for us.  anyone who wants to change the way enum works
should issue their opinions over on the enum wg's list.

So far so good.

So you would be happy with a LLMNR lookup succeeding
for "www.ietf.org"?

Should what is returned bear any relationship at all to
what might be returned by a DNS lookup of the same name?
(without some magic, I can't see how)

Should an application be able to tell the difference
between something answered by the DNS and something
answered by LLMNR?
(unless there a different API, or something like a
  well known domain suffix, I can't see how)

One of the differences between the DNS/NIS/whatever
name service examples and LLMNR is that there is a server
that is "more trusted" than "just any old host that happens
to be within earshot of the requester".  The use of a well
known suffix could prevent www.ietf.org from being resolved
using an LLMNR-like protocol (by ensuring that only
things that are in a particular domain suffix get resolved).

Another approach may be to stipulate that things looked up
using LLMNR don't have any dots in them (that would match
the kind of behaviour that is seen currently with NetBIOS
naming today).

Personally, I think it would be prudent to do something
to prevent security problems that may result from looking
up what are supposed to be DNS names in LLMNR.

It is true that unicast DNS responses to requests could
be forged, but the multicast nature of LLMNR makes the
task a whole lot easier.

    I believe that the ability to deploy in .com, .net and .org is 
    a requirement.

State your believes. Citate the requirements. What makes you think
that these domains are different then the ones you don't mention?
    
    Unless the protocol is fixed there is no way that DNSSEC should go 
    to the IESG.

Why?

    DNSSEC in its current form is BROKEN. 

Because of what?

We have been over this many, many times as you are undoubtedly aware.

Without OPTIN the cost of creating unnecessary NXT records is 
prohibitive. 

It is a scale issue that becomes apparent when you have over a 
million records.


I find it bizare that we are talking about hypothetical applications
of enum in Andora when it has already been established that without
a change to the processing of NXT, the DNSSEC protocol is undeployable
for the vast majority of current users.

This isn't a problem of not handling NXT records correctly.  The problem
is that with DS, referrals to unsigned delegations contain NXT records. A
response with an empty answer section and NXT records in the authority
section looks a lot more like a negative response than a referral to a 
server that doesn't speak DS.

An LLMNR response for that name would be authoritative. An LLMNR response
for www.ietf.org.local.arpa would also be authoritative. Both of them
would be non-authoritative for the DNS names, however, for multiple
reasons (RRs have expired and/or changed, for example).

Ergo, applying the LLMNR names, data, and authority to the DNS namespace
would be dangerous in all cases. Therefore, LLMNR data MUST BE HANDLED
SEPARATELY from DNS data in those cases where the data will be reused.
Note that once the minimum responsible effort is taken, then the presence
or lack of any specific label is moot.

In those cases where it is not reused beyond the context of a single
application, who cares?

I don't think it's ever been shown to be prohibitive.  Given modern

The vast majority of current users don't have zones the size of .com, so 
this is irrelevant.

i know it "looks a lot more like" and is a problem for at least one server
we know about (BIND 9.2.1).  however, before we call this a showstopper and
choose a different encoding for this condition, can we survey the other,
more popular server implementations and see if there aren't any?

The vast majority of users have zones that are IN .com so for them the
issue is pretty damn important.

The .com hardware supports 7 billion transactions per day. There is 
simply no way that anyone is going to allow deployment of any protocol
modification that does not take account of the fact that DNS is a 
critical infrastructure for the Internet and take every step possible
to minimize impact on those systems.

Call these issues 'irrelevant' if you like, but in every successful
standards group I have been involved in the group has taken great
pains to gain the active endorsement of the principal stakeholders
rather than dismissing their needs as 'irrelevant'. 

Since I first attended a DNSEXT meeting in San Diego I have started 
two open standards groups, one of which has its specs in final vote 
and the other is just about to go to last call. Both specifications
have a very broad base of support amongst industry and developers.

I don't expect anyone to use XKMS or SAML or even WS-Security because
they are told to by a standards body, I expect them to use the 
specifications because they meet their needs. If a working group goes 
out of its way to tell a group that their requirements are considered 
'irrelevant' they are effectively saying that they do not intend to
service that groups needs and consequently cannot expect that group
to adopt any resulting proposal.

Standards groups are a two way street, don't tell me my requirements
are irrelevant one day and then go and complain later if I do something
you don't like.

OK, Andora is not in Bohemia, but its close.

Let us look at this issue by case analysis, I cannot see where the ambiguity
arises with or without OPTIN.

In the first place let us look at the enum domain, one of the curious facts
about an enum domain is that it can have a maximum of 10 sub domains - 12 if
you want to include # and *. 

So one is most unlikely to be using OPTIN in those domains in the first
place. So the best argument that can be made from the example is that
wildcards be allowed for non opt-in domains.

So now let us look at the wildcard, what does it really mean here?

The * could match:

	0.		Immediate subdomain, 
	0.0.		nested subdomain

The first case is clearly not a compelling reason to require wildcard
support since the subdomains are easily enumerated.

The second case is the one that causes large numbers to be introduced.


I think the problem stems from a basic confusion over what the wildcard
indicates and the application area. In an enum application it is very likely
that there would be a lot of ldap directories up and down the tree:

+44 [national] 0121 [local] 29292932 [Line]

In the example above we have three separate ldap directories that might be
queried. I do not believe that a wildcard would be appropriate in any of
those cases.

A wildcard would indicate that the ldap repository was authoritative for all
information concerning all sub trees while in any practical design the
national, local and line directories are going to be very different with
very different purposes.

The fact that BT runs a national LDAP directory should not pre-empt my
ability to run a local directory for my personal line.


In other words, Paul and the enum group are right. You certainly do not want
to use wildcards in the enum context.

It's important for you, not for them.  Do you really think the users care 
how long it takes to sign .com?

7 billion transactions?  Presumably you're referring to queries, and 
opt-in doesn't make query responses any shorter.

They're irrelevant to most users, and important to large registries.  You 
work at a large registry.  Of course you think it's important.  You 
should.

This seems pretty off-topic.  I didn't intend to dismiss your claims;
merely that they don't apply to most users.

There are two sides to this.

On the one hand, nothing forbids publishing an NS or CNAME record with
an owner name of "*", and if you explicitly query for type NS or type
CNAME, the wildcard expansion will be returned.  In this sense,
wildcard NS and CNAME records "work" just like any other record type.

On the other hand, a server that implements the name server algorithm
in RFC1034 section 4.3.2 will not issue a referral response due to a
wildcard NS, nor will it follow a wildcard CNAME, because the logic
that makes NS and CNAME records special is in the part of the
algorithm dealing with existing names (steps 3a - 3b) but not in the
part dealing with nonexistent names (step 3c).  Therefore, a wildcard
CNAME record will not create a working alias, nor will a wildcard NS
record create a working delegation.

They care if the impact of DNSSEC on .com is such that we do not deploy.

The time issue is far less important than the data volume issue. No
extension that causes an immediate and sudden increase in the
data volumes will be deployed.

On the contrary, they apply to the vast majority of users whose domains
are in .com and .net.

I do not believe it is off topic to point out that rejection of a 
set of requirements has consequences that will render the entire 
group irrelevant.

If you tell me that you are not going to address people's requirements you
have absolutely no reason to complain if they do not accept the decisions
made here. We already reached consensus here, but for Katherine Harris II
and her supreme cabal the drafts could have been RFCs by now. So don't
complain if people choose the original group consensus over the cabal, or
go form their own cabal somewhere else.

	CNAME are not illegal but if you follow the steps in RFC 1034
	you won't see the wildcard CNAME unless you ask for a CNAME.

	* is internal to a zone, i.e. not the apex.
	NS records for delegation are supposed to be copies of the

That is not an "if" I would use to justify not bothering to
differentiate LLMNR and DNS names in some other way.

That would be what a *DNS* resolver would do with the name, and is
beside the point.  Some resolvers count the number of dots too.

[ I'm assuming in all this that the DNS resolver and the LLMNR
   resolver software are two seperate pieces of code (ie that the DNS
   resolver isn't going to try multicast for DNS request it is passed,
   or use a "funny suffix" as a trigger for doing multicast lookups.  I
   though we had decided that overloading the search list as a trigger
   for mDNS lookups was a bad idea..) ]

There seems to be a confusion here between how something like
nsswitch.conf operates and how a DNS resolver library operates.
My understanding is that code dealing with different name systems
(eg code for nsswitch.conf) will pass just the name through
to each underlying name service.

For an /etc/nsswitch.conf hosts entry like

     hosts: files dns llmnr

1) www.ietf.org gets looked up in /etc/hosts

2) www.ietf.org gets passed to the DNS resolver library,
		which may subsequently try the name with various
		domain suffixes tacked on the end

3) www.ietf.org gets passed to the LLMNR resolver code
		which could choose not to do a multicast request
		because the name has dots in it, or because the name
		does not have the local.arpa suffix

So a known suffix and/or no-dots would be a simple prescription that
could work to ensure that DNS names like www.ietf.org are not resolved
using LLMNR.  One could even put llmnr before DNS with this approach.

I understand that you are saying that would would like to be able to
resolve "www.ietf.org" via LLMNR.  I have an open mind on that.

 > If we had to have a restriction, "names with no dots" would be the only
 > reasonable one - but I really believe that's unnecessarily limiting, for

 >

The gain is perceived to be a guarantee that LLMNR won't have any
negative security implications for applications that think they are
looking up DNS-like names.

If the DNS mostly always gets to resolve the name first, then you are
pretty unlikely to use LLMNR to resolve www.ietf.org anyway, so there
is no great loss in imposing the restriction?

The current opt-in thread is really bothersome to me - it's too 
polarized to be helpful.  But I just have one question along the 
lines that I am dying to ask, yet I don't want to be drug into the 
current conversation.  The question is:

      Do other (not com.) large zone registrars feel that opt-in is
      necessary?  I'm assuming that there are zones other than com. with
      over a million subdomains.

I'd really like to see a working prototype of an opt-in server - so 
we can play.

people will deploy dnssec either to increase the security of the dns or to
make money. I would guess verisign falls into the second category.

    The current opt-in thread is really bothersome to me - it's too 
    polarized to be helpful.

Yes, I don't think "believes" has a place in a technical discussions.

    But I just have one question along the 
    lines that I am dying to ask, yet I don't want to be drug into the 
    current conversation.  The question is:
    
          Do other (not com.) large zone registrars feel that opt-in is

          over a million subdomains.

That was my point. There are zones out there which are bigger then
.net & .org, and thus far I haven't noticed that folks
maintaining these zones want OPT-IN.
    
    I'd really like to see a working prototype of an opt-in server - so 
    we can play.

That would be a rational thing to do.

Of course not. Though they will care if the signing time has an impact
on how quickly new delegations get published.

It is kind of mind blowing to believe that anyone on this list

  | 	* is internal to a zone, i.e. not the apex.
  | 	NS records for delegation are supposed to be copies of the
  | 	NS records in the child zone.

They should be the same, yes.

  |     Since * cannot be at the apex of the zone,

What has that to do with anything?

Eg, say I have on server A

	$ORIGIN	foo.example.com.
	@	IN	SOA	...
		IN	NS	A.my.domain.
		IN	NS	B.my.domain.
	www	IN	A	1.2.3.4

Then on server Q, I have

	$ORIGIN example.com.
		[normal stuff]
	*	IN	NS	A.my.domain.
		IN	NS	B.my.domain.

and no mention of "foo" anywhere in that zone at all.

Then, someone does a lookup of www.foo.example.com

The wildcard NS records exactly match the NS records at the apex of the
zone delegated.   No problem at all.

Of course, someone might also do a lookup of

	www.random.example.com.

and you might think, that because A (and B) have never heard of 
random.example.com this must necessarily be illegal.   But first,
how can Q possibly tell the difference between these two cases?

And second, A might be a "smart" server, that creates the zone upon
demand - that is the "$ORIGIN foo.example.com." zone above might have
been created by A when the (first) query for www.foo.example.com. appeared.

I'm not saying that any of this is useful for anything much, but

  | you cannot have wilcard NS records in the parent.

isn't supportable as an argument.

Before we get too far into this rat hole, the DNSSEC performance 
issue behind opt-in isn't signing time.  That's been discussed 
before.  The issue is the memory required to hold the zone in a 
server (whether primary or secondary storage) and the cpu needed to 
search through the data.

I claim that signing a zone of any size is an easy proposition.  My 
first signer could handle (late-90s) com. from scratch - then at 700K 
delegations - on a mid-90's Pentium in 40 hours.  My second signer 
(the one distrubuted with BIND 8.2) couldn't sign com. because I 
didn't include my "memory tricks" simply because it didn't seem 
important to to do so in experimental code.  Signing is the easy part.

The "response time" for adding a new signed delegation is more a 
function of institutional practices than computing power.

During a Secure Dynamic Update tutorial at RIPE 43 a situation arose 
that seems to indicate a conflict between RFC 2136 (Dynamic Update) 
and RFC 2854 (Secret Key Authentication for DNS).  The problem isn't 
major - the labeling of an error condition is the problem.

In 2136, we have this:
>    2.2 - Message Header
...
>    RCODE   Response code - this four bit field is undefined in requests
>            and set in responses.  The values and meanings of this field
>            within responses are as follows:
>
>               Mneumonic   Value   Description
>              ------------------------------------------------------------
...
>              NOTAUTH     9       The server is not authoritative for
>                                  the zone named in the Zone Section.

(Mnemonic is misspelled in the RFC text.)

In RFC 2854, we have this text:
>3 - Protocol Operation
...
>    3.2. TSIG processing on incoming messages
...
>   If an incoming message contains a TSIG record, it MUST be the last
...
>   ...........................................................  If the
>   algorithm name or key name is unknown to the recipient, or if the
>   message digests do not match, the whole DNS message MUST be
>   discarded.  If the message is a query, a response with RCODE 9
>   (NOTAUTH) MUST be sent back to the originator with TSIG ERROR 17
>   (BADKEY) or TSIG ERROR 16 (BADSIG).  ....

The issue is that in 2136 "NOTAUTH" seems to mean not authoritative 
and in 2854 "NOTAUTH" seems to mean not authenticated.

The reason this was noticed was in the reply to an update where the 
key was undefined to the server but the update was to a name & type 
in the zone.  Rightly so, the software determined that the request 
was not properly authenticated and followed 2854's words.  But when I 
was trying to explain this in the tutorial, I found the 2136 
definition to seem to indicate a different error.

i don't have such a domain.  however, i think opt-in is architecturally
right -- something that should have been in the protocol from the get-go.
as such, i would use opt-in on all of my zones.  delegations to unsigned
subzones should not, in my view, require NXT RR's, because the name is
not really in the parent, it's the apex of some other zone.  if opt-in is
available, it's my hope that the "." zone will use it.

likewise, hoping for same, soon.

Nonsense.

People will deploy dnssec to increase the security of the DNS and (or) not
to loose money (because of lack of security). These are effectively the
same.

It was a null hypothesis. My point is that the belief that wildcards 
cause difficulty appears to stem from confusion as to what they do.

Clear up the confusion as to what they do and the difficulty will
disappear.

Just to be clear, this isn't really true.

The problem is that DNSSEC without opt-in implies a significant and
immediate increase in data volume _without any mechanism by which costs to
account for that increase can be recovered_.

When you are talking about instantaneously multiplying a 2-3GB memory image
by 8-10, I can see how people can get nervous, particularly on a 32 bit
architecture.

Of course, one might question whether keeping all that data in memory is a
good idea in the first place, but changing architecture also costs money.

This is not FUD.

Whether any registry deploys DNSSEC is a business decision of that registry.
The registry, by and large, is not affected by the integrity issues DNSSEC
protects against.  If the registry's customers really want (that is, be
willing to pay for) DNSSEC, it will get deployed, regardless of the
implications that deployment might have on the registry's infrastructure.

Unfortunately, to date, there has not been significant demand for DNSSEC
from customers.  As such, any registry that considers deploying it must be
willing to assume some risk, believing that in the future customers will
want DNSSEC.  What I take Phill's comments to mean is that Verisign is not
willing to take the risk.

I don't mean to pick on my esteemed colleague quoted above, but let's 
drop picking on business models and the motivation behind deploying 
DNSSEC.  Let's instead get out hands on code that will let us look at 
our own personal "corner cases" to see just how (bad/painless/good) 
opt-in is.  I would think this is an action item from the proponents 
of the change.

Besides my FUD over wildcards and DNSSEC (and FUD it is as I can't 
test it), I have FUD over how an application might interpret the 
results of an opt-in impacted response.  I'm not saying "it ain't 
gonna work," I'm saying "I can't tell right now."

To the proponents of opt-in, don't take my (or others') skepticism as 
an unwillingness to adopt it.  Naturally, any change to a system that 
is in operation will be looked at suspiciously until it becomes clear 
the change is beneficial.  Scientists and engineers are naturally 
skeptical - new theories are only immediately adopted by trade rags 
and supermarket tabloids.

Well we all speak for ourselves in these mailing lists.

However it is clear that we have not been able to persuade the 
registry to deploy to date on the basis of the non-OPTIN specs.

It does absolutely nothing for DNSEXT credibility inside the company
to have loonies on this list stating that their intention is to 
design a protocol that cannot be deployed in .com because they are
persuing some personal political campaign against the registry.

Nor does it do much for DNSEXT credibility inside the IETF.

The 'I am not comfortable with it line' is pure FUD straight
out of the textbooks on Agenda Denial. I do not believe the
issues being raised are being raised in good faith.

So far we've found two gothcas[1] from having the DS record looking
like it belongs in the child zone, yet declaring the parent to be
authoritative for it.  We can work around both, but I'm worried that
there may be more out there (here, have some more FUD).  Perhaps a
better answer is to move the DS into the parent zone:

in .com:
	microsoft.com	   NS ...   ;; .com is not authoritative
	_ds_microsoft.com  DS ...   ;; .com is authoritative
or
	microsoft._ds_.com DS ...   ;; .com is authoritative

Yes, this is gross, but it keeps the semantics unchanged, which keeps
any similar problems from popping up later when it may be too late to
fix them.

Issue: the NXT chain.  If _ds_microsoft.com gets it's own NXT and
SIG(NXT), zones get bigger.  If you include it as part of
microsoft.com's NXT (and have the DS bit refer to something with a
different name), that still leaves both parent and child with NXTs
with matching names, which may lead to more problems of the same sort.

[1] Both gotchas come into play when a legacy (non-DNSSEC-aware) cache
is between the DNSSEC-aware authoritative server and client.

There's also an issue with cache timeouts: if the DS times out before
the NS, a legacy cache can't find the DS, which limits child NS TTLs
to the DS TTL set by the parent.

There are a few. Many aspire to get there someday :^).  Have you seen any 
other registries directly participate in any of this? I've had a number of
informal conversations with some of them but are relucant to expose
their business plans - esp publically on a list (which I understand).

Devil's advocate time. Have these zone maintainers taken the time to 
understand what it takes to deploy dnssec? I surmise that interest may not 
be there since there is no immediate demand from their customers to deploy 
dnssec. I base my assertion on that fact that I have yet to hear any interest 
either directly or indirectly from any registrar that deals with com/net/org 
that they want dnssec.

While large registrars are part of our customer base, none has requested
DNSSEC as a 'must have' feature. So far people have assumed that DNSSEC was
deployable, right now it is starting to get known that there are major
issues separating DNSSEC from an infrastructure that can be deployed as a
money-making service.

Kind regards,

As soon as there is working code, the argument becomes "There's working
code, how bad can it be?".  A decision should be made based on the merit
of the ideas, and I don't think the existence of an implementation should
ever be used to further progress.

To my knowledge, no one's ever claimed that opt-in won't work.  Only
Phill, as far as I can tell, claims that DNSSEC won't work without opt-in.

The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Limiting the Scope of the 
KEY Resource Record' <draft-ietf-dnsext-restrict-key-for-dnssec-04.txt> 
as a Proposed Standard.  This document is the product of the DNS 
Extensions Working Group.  The IESG contact persons are Erik Nordmark 
and Thomas Narten.
 
 
Technical Summary
 
  This document limits the Domain Name System KEY resource record to
  only keys used by the Domain Name System Security Extensions
  (DNSSEC). The original KEY resource record used sub-typing to 
  store both DNSSEC keys and arbitrary application keys. Storing both 
  DNSSEC and application keys in one record was a mistake. This 
  document removes application keys from the KEY record by redefining 
  the Protocol Octet field in the KEY Resource Record Data. As a 
  result of removing application keys, all but one of the flags in 
  the KEY record become unnecessary and are removed. Three existing 
  application key sub-types are changed to reserved, but the format 
  of the KEY record is not changed. This document updates RFC 2535.

 
Working Group Summary

  There was WG rough concensus to advance this document; people
  agree that restricting KEY RR to the DNS keys is the right thing 
  to do.

  However, some folks see a need to provide a replacement for the 
  application key use of the KEY RR (whether it be APPKEY or 
  something). Since there isn't agreement (see SIKED BoF) what 
  problem something like APPKEY would solve, there isn't a ready 
  replacement for this functionality at this point in time. Thus the 
  WG rough concensus is to restrict-key now and defer the 
  application key discussion.
 
Protocol Quality
 
  This specification has been reviewed for the IESG by Erik Nordmark.

Okay, here's my devil's advocate viewpoint.

It wouldn't be hard to muster an army of volunteers who would gladly spend
many man-years signing zones on behalf of domain registrants who think they
don't want/need DNSSEC enough to pay for it if registrars who think they
can't afford to deploy DNSSEC agree to let volunteers do all of the work for
free that the registrars would otherwise have to do without additional
compensation from registrants.

Likewise, volunteers would gladly manage all extra burdens placed on TLD
zone managers other than hardware, bandwidth, and electricity costs. All
manpower costs are irrelevant when it comes to deploying DNSSEC because if
the people who read this list really need manpower help to get the job done
and really can't afford to pay for it all they need to do is explain the
predicament in a public plea for help and give volunteers appropriate access
permissions and software tools that enable them to shoulder the burden
instead.

Even with potential threats of key theft caused by the probable necessity of
distributing many copies of the TLD zone signing private key to various
volunteer coordinators and the possibility of cryptanalysis by way of chosen
plaintext oracle attacks where a lazy volunteer coordinator fails to detect
and prevent such a thing, the security improvement provided by signed DNS
zones is critically-important to the integrity of Internet infrastructure
and less-than-perfect is better than what we've got today with DNS.

Considering that deployment and operations are the crux of the issue here,
hasn't anyone drafted detailed business scenario and security scenario
analysis documents that frame this debate?

The technical issues are minor and somewhat philosophical. We're not talking
about updating end-user client resolver libraries any time soon, that will
always be optional... Either the client node wants DNSSEC and therefore
updates its resolver or it is satisfied with IPSec-protected DNS where the
DNS server does support DNSSEC otherwise the client node doesn't benefit
from signed zones. However, automated DNSSEC crawlers can and should be
implemented that verify signatures obtained from authoritative DNSSEC
servers and then query every DNS server looking for poisoned RRs. Poisoned
DNS servers can quickly be taken offline and daily security alerts could be
issued by ICANN or CERT detailing known-poisoned DNS servers. With such a
system in place we could deploy a good-enough initial protection simply by
coordinating authentic communications from registrants to a single DNSSEC
server that never gets queried by anything but the crawler and is managed
entirely by volunteer staff.

The nameservice protocol would still be DNSSEC and we would still need each
TLD to have a key pair but the deployment could actually succeed in the
near-term without convincing everyone that they need and want DNSSEC badly
enough to invest money in it. And the initial population of the
authoritative DNSSEC server would still be complete and automatic based on
the current (perceived) contents of the authoritative nameservers for each
domain. This way "opt-in" is unnecessary and those domains that are already
compromised remain so in the DNSSEC until we receive authentic
communications from the domain registrant offering corrections.

Sincerely,

Jason Coombs

Devil's advocate time. Have these zone maintainers taken the time to
understand what it takes to deploy dnssec? I surmise that interest may not
be there since there is no immediate demand from their customers to deploy
dnssec. I base my assertion on that fact that I have yet to hear any
interest
either directly or indirectly from any registrar that deals with com/net/org
that they want dnssec.

	It has to do with the fact that you can't have a zone
	"*.example.com", hence you can't have a NS records in the
	parent with owner names of "*.example.com".
 
	Even if you were to create a server that supported a zone with
	a name of "*.example.com" that server would also *have* to serve
	example.com to ensure that the names that are in "example.com"
	get answered from the "example.com" zone and not "*.example.com".

	No they don't.

	They generate NS records for "www.foo.example.com" as * matches
	multiple labels.  A.my.domain and B.my.domain serve "foo.example.com"
	not "www.foo.example.com".  They all generate NS record for
	"sfdlhkljdfsljdsa.ldkshlkds.lljkklkkk.foo.example.com".

	Answers returned from the child servers will be rejected by todays
	servers as lame as the generated NS records will not match those
	returned from the child zone without re-defining * to be a single
	label for NS.  Even then you will get lame delegations unless you
	have specialised child servers that accept "*.example.com" as
	a zone name, expand perform a single label expansion and serve
	the parent zone to ensure that the "*.example.com" "zone" doesn't
	match name in example.com.

	The only place I've seen an attempt to use * to "delegate" is in
	the IN-ADDR.ARPA tree.  We created $GENERATE and offered it to
	dnsind to handle this case.  It got rejected so we kept it as
	a implementation extention.

	Using a wildcard to "delegate" can provide no benefits over
	standard delegation and will lead to lame delegations.

2845 is tsig.  what's 2854?

the problem isn't inconsistency.  any message type has its own uses
for the various fixed header fields including RCODE.  that's why EDNS
adds more bits to RCODE without saying what they mean -- because EDNS
is not opcode-specific other than where it explicitly says so, like
the fact that OPT applies to opcode "query".

2845 can be viewed as wrong since it overloads an rcode pattern that
means something else to a specific opcode, 2136 "update" in this case.

I don't understand why not.  I know that wildcard delegations won't work, 
but if I want to create a zone called "*.example.com", so that I can look 
up names like "foo.*.example.com", why can't I?  BIND 9 explicitly checks 
for and rejects this zone, but this has no basis in the standards.  You 
added this code :)

Why?  Again, assuming * is used as a literal name, not a wildcard, the 
*.example.com zone would be the closest.  The NS record at *.example.com 
only creates a delegation at *.example.com, not every name matched by the 
wildcard (see the name server algorithm in RFC 1034).

I have absolutely no clue what the rest of the message means, so I'll stop 
here.

    Devil's advocate time. Have these zone maintainers taken the
    time to understand what it takes to deploy dnssec?

We, (.nl, 750 K delegations) are serious looking at this. Also, I
know that (.de, 5++ M delegationsis looking at this as well. As far
I know theyare on this maillists as well. Someother european
registries are paying attention as well.

    I surmise that interest may not be there since there is no
    immediate demand from their customers to deploy dnssec. I base
    my assertion on that fact that I have yet to hear any interest
    either directly or indirectly from any registrar that deals
    with com/net/org that they want dnssec.

We get occasional requests from domain name holders when we are
going to do this in production (note when, not if), likewise, I
heard the Germans do.  Also, (some) registrars are interested.

Our standard answer is that we have to wait until the protocol is
done.

I'll ignore the question of whether it is ever possible to have
'*' as a label in the DNS, where it isn't a wildcard, as that isn't
relevant to the question of wildcards, clearly.

  |     A.my.domain and B.my.domain serve "foo.example.com"
  | 	not "www.foo.example.com".

That could trivially be changed, if it was necessary...

  | 	They generate NS records for "www.foo.example.com" as * matches
  | 	multiple labels.

It does usually, but it is possible that it does not for NS records,
because of the "delegations stop wildcards" restriction.   That is, '*' means
everything possible (other than what exists).  So, if there is a wildcard
NS record, then (using the example from my last mail), there is
necessarily a delegation for foo.example.com.   Then, we get that clause
from 1034 that says that wildcards don't survive delegations.   Hence,
the existence of the foo.example.com delegation, even without it being
explicit, would mean that www.foo.example.com was not matched by the wildcard.

Or at least that's the interpretation I was adopting in my last message.

  |     They all generate NS record for
  | 	"sfdlhkljdfsljdsa.ldkshlkds.lljkklkkk.foo.example.com".

Yes.  So ?

  | 	Answers returned from the child servers will be rejected by todays
  | 	servers as lame as the generated NS records will not match those
  | 	returned from the child zone without re-defining * to be a single
  | 	label for NS.

Huh?   Since when does anyone (registries doing delegations excepted, or
some of them...) actually go comparing the server names in NS records.
Servers (resolvers) that did that would find half the universe as lame,
as people keep sticking different names for their servers in their
delegations than what's in the zone itself (for reasons I can't even
begin to fathom, but they do).

  |	Even then you will get lame delegations unless you
  | 	have specialised child servers that accept "*.example.com" as
  | 	a zone name, expand perform a single label expansion and serve
  | 	the parent zone to ensure that the "*.example.com" "zone" doesn't
  | 	match name in example.com.

Possibly (without thinking about the details for now).   But how to
avoid lame servers wasn't the question.   Whether it is legal in the
first place to have wildcard NS was.

  | 	Using a wildcard to "delegate" can provide no benefits over
  | 	standard delegation and will lead to lame delegations.

I don't disagree with that, in general (though I could probably dream up
some exotic scenario where it would help, without causing lame delegations).

But what's useful isn't what is being discussed.   Wildcard SRV records
are unquestionably legal, but they're almost certainly not useful.
(that is *.example.com. IN SRV ...    I don't mean *._http._tcp.example.com)

That something isn't useful for anything doesn't make it illegal.

The interesting thing to note is that right now time is working against
DNSSEC. Originally we received a lot of questions about our DNSSEC
commitment because people assumed that because there was an RFC and DNSSEC
was mentioned in Bind9 release notes, there would be a deployable protocol.

Right now, the perception is growing that DNSSEC is going the way of CORBA,
OSI, X.500 and other flightless protocols. Protocols which are fraught with
difficulties but were designed to please the computer scientist in us.

Even within the DNS community, transparency has not been great. Even we
(PowerDNS) assumed that DNSSEC was workable until Olaf educated us at
HAL2001 about the problems with key rollover and the need for DS. That
conclusion was a long time overdue.

Right now I see you claiming that DNSSEC is innocent until proven guilty by
results from revenue-generating production systems while Phillip, who is
speaking for himself, but important nonetheless, claims that is is
fundamentally broken.

It looks like that the window of opportunity for DNSSEC is closing. Any
initial enthusiasm based on the mistaken perception that the protocol was
ready is now vanishing. The protocol is not getting any simpler and ready to
deploy, which would help counter the lack of buy-in so far.

Perhaps the time has come to reverse some things and design a new DNSSEC
that is more aimed at achieving goals people are waiting for. Perhaps DNS
need not even be the protocol used - DNS in and of itself is a very
simpleminded network API. People wanting security may well want to use a
different protocol instead of riding on the coattails of a 1980s one
not very well suited for large messages and complicated semantics.

Let's not stick to our UDP port 53 packets 'because'. DNSSEC may get a
'boost' because it piggybacks on an existing protocol but the hacks to get
DNSSEC to travel existing infrastructure are getting grosser by the hour -
DS is a case in point. This perceived boost may well have cost us years.

Kind regards,

bert hubert

No, I said that it is broken as specified but we know how to 
fix it. I did not say 'fundamentaly'.

Scale is an engineering issue.

I think that the longer people delay agreement on a deployable
protocol, the less chance of success we have.

You just proved my point. Not deploying DNSSEC means loosing money. No
commercial entity will be healthy just living by the promise of loosing
money. But that might not be the only motivation.

Take Phill's comment for what they are, I was merely responding to the 2
extreme motivations to "deploy dnssec" that were presented by Jakob, as
if no other motivations where possible. That, and the fact that his
conclusions where based without motivation, and on a technical list like
this, lead me to conclude it was FUD. It still is.

the more important part might be the actual owner of that NS RR identifying
the zone's apex. For the server names in RDATA, you're right - that would
be fun - not. But then, I'd not call delegations failing these validity
checks `lame'.

Ok, I've been thinking about the interactions between opt-in and
wildcards in dnssec.  I apologize if this is redundant.  I also
apologize for the rather long length.

So far the following questions have more or less been raised:

1) Do wildcard NXT proofs need to be returned with positive opt-in
answers (that is, when an opt-in server is returning a "opted-out"
insecure delegation)?

2) Should a signed wildcard record be able to trump an insecure
delegation when both are available to the resolver?

I am ignoring the thread talking about getting rid of wildcards in
DNSSEC altogether.

First, suppose the answer to question #1 is yes, wildcard proofs are
to be returned.  Then we might see a response like:

  Q:     foo.example A
  ANS: 
  AUTH:  foo.example NS <...>
         e           NXT g ... (opt-in)
         e           SIG NXT ...
         example     NXT a ... (no wildcard).
         example     SIG NXT ...
  ADD:   ...

which seems fine.  But, what happens when a wildcard actually exists?
Then maybe we would see a response like this:

  Q:     foo.example A
  AUTH:  foo.example NS <...>
         e           NXT g ... (opt-in)
         (proof the the wildcard exists)
	 foo.example A 1.1.1.1
         foo.example SIG A (labels = 1)

The resolver is presented both with a delegation and a wildcard.  This
leads us to question #2.

In this scenario, if the resolver were to believe the wildcard over
the delegation, essentially insecure delegations in opt-in zone would
simply not work because the wildcard would mask all the insecure
delegations.

So the answer to question #2 would seem to be No.

If the answer was yes, then I think we would be giving new power to
wildcard records that was never intended.

The reasoning above suggests that the answer to question #1 is also
No.  However, it is probably not sufficient to go by this reasoning
alone.

So considering question #1 more directly:

With opt-in, insecure delegations may be modified, added, or removed
within the insecure spans within the zone.  The current draft language
is 

   With Opt-In, a malicious entity is able to: insert, modify, or
   delete insecure delegation RRsets within a secured zone.

Because of this, a resolver cannot detect whether or not a particular
insecure delegation response was spoofed or not.  Since the delegation
might actually be real, the resolver really has no choice but to
believe that it is real.  The presence or absence of a matching
wildcard becomes not relevant, because the resolver cannot make a
decision based on that fact.

Looking at this (yet) another way, we can see that an attacker could
replace an insecure delegation with a wildcard expansion, thus
effective removing the delegation.  Of course, the attacker could
already have done that.  Also an attacker could replace a wildcard
expansion with a spoofed delegation (pointing wherever the attacker
wished).

This is not really a different security concern from the first form of
attack, but it does show that the language in the draft does not go
far enough.  I will point out that although wildcard records are
signed, their expanded names are not.  Perhaps the opt-in draft's
security consideration language should be more along the lines of:

  With Opt-In, a malicious entity is able to: insert, modify, or
  delete insecure delegation RRsets within a secured zone.  A
  malicious entity is also able to replay or delete wildcard
  expansions within insecure spans in the zone.

Or perhaps:

  With Opt-In, a malicious entity is able to insert, modify or remove
  RRsets within the insecure spans of a secured zone.  The RRsets are
  limited to insecure delegations and wildcard expansions.

So the answer to question #1 is No.

Opt-In does not change the fact that negative wildcard proofs are
needed in an NXDOMAIN response, just like non-opt-in.

	Well I've always read "that wildcards don't survive delegations"
	to mean that wildcards can't apply to delgations as you have
	delegated "foo.example.com" hence the wildcard can't match
	"foo.example.com".

	I meant the parent server says that a zone "www.foo.example.com"
	exists then the child says I serving "foo.example.com" not
	"www.foo.example.com".
	
	This is no different to those sites that are lazy and use
	a "com" zone for all there delegations under com.  It's a lame
	delegation and a cache poisioning attack so we have to look
	for it.

  | 	Well I've always read "that wildcards don't survive delegations"
  | 	to mean that wildcards can't apply to delgations as you have
  | 	delegated "foo.example.com" hence the wildcard can't match
  | 	"foo.example.com".

But that would be meaningless, as (at least without wildcard NS records).
If foo.example.com exists, then it is a 

   - When the query name or a name between the wildcard domain and
     the query name is know to exist.
[sic]

We wold know that foo.example.com exists, if we have explicitly delegated
it, obviously, and hence the wildcard could not apply to anything below
foo.example.com (just as it could not if foo.example.com merely had an A
record, it is still a known name, and hence, the wildcard *.example.com
cannot make www.foo.example.com exist).

Hence, what is

   - When the query is in another zone.  That is, delegation cancels
     the wildcard defaults.

actually for?   Here I'm guessing, not stating the intent of the time,
or of the authors.   But it might be interpreted as assuming

	* IN NS xxx

delegates every (unknown) sub-domain.   Then every query to anything
a.b.$ORIGIN would necessarily be to something in another zone, as the
wildcard would delegate b.$ORIGIN (should anyone bother to ask).
Then, the restriction would mean that this delegation cancels the wildcard.
and in particular, www.foo.example.com. would not match the wildcard
in my previous message, but foo.example.com. would be delegated, implicitly,
and hence a referral would be correct behaviour.

I'm not attached to this interpretation in any way, I'm not claiming that
it is the correct one (any better knowledge on why this particular
restriction is there gratefully accepted - even better if backed by some
contemporary evidence, rather than "looking back, it must have meant...)

Mark.Andrews@isc.org said in another message:
| 	I meant the parent server says that a zone "www.foo.example.com"
| 	exists then the child says I serving "foo.example.com" not
| 	"www.foo.example.com". 

Yes, I know, but if the correct interpretation of the wildcard were that
www.foo.example.com was delegated, then I would have made the server for
the child serve that zone.   It was the way it was, only because I was
assuming the interpretation above.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: Handling of Unknown DNS RR Types
	Author(s)	: A. Gustafsson
	Filename	: draft-ietf-dnsext-unknown-rrs-04.txt
	Pages		: 7
	Date		: 2002-9-19
	
Extending the Domain Name System with new Resource Record types
currently requires changes to name server software.  This document
specifies the changes necessary to allow future DNS implementations
to handle new RR types transparently.

A URL for this Internet-Draft is:
http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dnsext-unknown-rrs-04.txt

or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt


Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dnsext-unknown-rrs-04.txt".
	
NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the

 L.S.


 Below is a link to a document describing an optimization to the
 wildcard algorithm resulting in the need for only 1 NXT/SIG for when
 there are no wildcards in the zone. Even if there are wildcards in the
 zone 1 NXT/SIG may be sufficient.

The IESG has approved the Internet-Draft 'Obsoleting IQUERY'
<draft-ietf-dnsext-obsolete-iquery-04.txt> as a Proposed Standard.
This document is the product of the DNS Extensions Working Group.  The
IESG contact persons are Erik Nordmark and Thomas Narten.

 
Technical Summary
 
      The IQUERY method of performing inverse DNS lookups, specified in
      RFC 1035, has not been generally implemented and has usually been
      operationally disabled where it has been implemented. Both reflect
      a general view in the community that the concept was unwise and
      that the widely-used alternate approach of using PTR queries and
      reverse-mapping records is preferable. Consequently, this document
      deprecates the IQUERY operation and updates RFC 1035 to declare it
      entirely obsolete.
 
Working Group Summary
 
      There was concensus in the WG to advance this document.
 
Protocol Quality
 
      DNS server implementations have had IQUERY disabled for a very long time
      without any adverse effects.
      This document has been reviewed for the IESG by Erik Nordmark.

Hello.

Section 2.2 of RFC1996 states:

   2.2. The zone's servers must be organized into a dependency graph
   such that there is a primary master, and all other servers must use
   AXFR or IXFR either from the primary master or from some slave which
   is also a master.  No loops are permitted in the AXFR dependency
   graph.

I read this to mean that loops in IXFR dependency graphs are legal, but
loops in AXFR dependency graphs are not. Does anyone know the reason AXFR
loops are not allowed, and then the reason why IXFR loops are ok?

Thanks,
Ketil

There are no two graphs, since the dependencies are intended to be the same
whether you use AXFR or IXFR. The graph has just been named after AXFR where
*XFR - or something similar - might have been less specific and thus would
have avoided the ambiguity you've seen.

that's a typo.  should say "No loops are permitted in the AXFR/IXFR
dependency graph."

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
This draft is a work item of the DNS Extensions Working Group of the IETF.

	Title		: TKEY Secret Key Renewal Mode
	Author(s)	: Y. Kamite, M. Nakayama
	Filename	: draft-ietf-dnsext-tkey-renewal-mode-02.txt
	Pages		: 21
	Date		: 2002-9-25
	
This document defines a new mode in TKEY [RFC2930] and proposes an
atomic method for changing secret keys used for TSIG [RFC2845]
periodically. Originally, TKEY provides methods of setting up shared
secrets other than manual exchange, but it cannot control timing of
key renewal very well though it can add or delete shared keys
separately. This proposal is a systematical key renewal procedure
intended for preventing signing DNS messages with old and non-safe
keys permanently.

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.
		
		
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the

I am not too sure that Bruce made quite the point originally stated,
and if he did make it one should take a look at some other statements
Bruce has been known to state before necessarily taking his word as
gospel.

In fact I would suspect that a more accurate representation of
Bruce's position would be 'think about the protocol, don't depend
on dogma, including dogma that you might find attributed to me.'

Answer, I tend not to pay $10 per night just to surf the Internet
from a hotel room and when I have I have been using a VPN which 
encrypts all the trafic.

Question, what do you want the infrastructure to do in this 
situation? I believe that what a secure DNS infrastructure should
do is inform you that you are subject to a DNS MiM attack.


If you are going to use secure DNS then you probably want to 
use IPSEC to protect you trafic from hotel rooms and the like.
If the institution blocks IPSEC then you should probably apply
Moscow rules and not use the Internet at all.
